Anybody remember this Band based out of SD and LA. They had a song called Crack Killed Applejack that was in heavy rotation for a min on 92.5. They played the grand opening of Fam Mart also.

US group fronted by Mitch McDowell (1954, San Bernadino, California, USA, d. January 1992). McDowell took the professional name General Kane (formerly General Caine) in tribute to an officer who had supported his artistic ambitions when he was at military school. After leaving that institution, he formed the group Booty People with several future members of War, before assembling an eight-piece rap group and signing with Groove Time Records in 1978. Two albums for the label preceded a move to Tabu Records. A slimmed down version of the group signed a recording contract with Motown Records in the mid-80s. Their debut single for the label, "Crack Killed Applejack", was an uncompromising reflection of drug addiction on the inner city streets, and reached number 12 in the black music charts despite being barred from airplay. Subsequent releases mellowed General Kane's approach, without losing their commitment to the basic rap sound of the late 80s - though the group's album, Wide Open, did include a romantic ballad, "Close Your Eyes", which featured vocals from two of the group's less prominent members, Cheryl McDowell and Danny Macon. Mitch McDowell was murdered in January 1992. General Kane's catalogue remained in print through the efforts of their former producer, Grover Wimberly III, who runs his own label, King Bee Records.
