Taio Cruz is celebrating his 40th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-singer-producer-business man Taio Cruz (Hangover, Dynamite, Break Your Heart, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 40th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cruz, a cultural icon

Born Jacob Taio Cruz in London on April 23, 1985, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Cruz's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a very charming man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Taio hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Taio Cruz as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 40.

Happy Birthday, Taio, you're the best!
