Daddy's Home is the sixth studio album by American rapper Big Daddy Kane. It was released on September 13, 1994, through MCA Records. Recording sessions took place at Platinum Island Recording Studios in New York City and at Echo Sound in Glendale, California from August 1993 to April 1994. Production was handled by Easy Mo Bee, DJ Premier, Crush, Big Daddy Kane, LG, Da Rock and Kool Tee. It features guest appearances by Big Scoob, Jay-Z, Shyheim, Sauce Money, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Easy Dred and Junior P. It is Big Daddy Kane's first album to not be released on Cold Chillin' Records, and is his only album released on MCA. Like his previous album Looks Like a Job For..., Daddy's Home was generally well-received, but lacked in sales. Despite the album's positive reviews, it prompted a large drop in Kane's commercial popularity, and produced no crossover hit singles.

The album reached #155 on the US Billboard 200 and at #26 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Daddy's Home released the singles: "Show & Prove" and "In the PJ's" (which peaked at #31 on the Hot Rap Singles chart).

Following the release of Daddy's Home, Kane took a long break from recording music, until returning four years later with his seventh LP Veteranz Day in 1998.
