The Legendary Kool G Rap Returns With ‘Return Of The Don’, Which Will Be Released On 6.2.2017

Hip Hop’s golden era constituent, Queens’ native, the godfather of Mafioso rap, legendary and influential emcee, Kool G Rap, broke out in the late 80s & early 90s as one half of the duo with DJ Polo. Together, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo released three undisputed classic albums; beginning with their debut album ‘Road To The Riches‘ (1989), ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive‘ (1990), & ‘Live and Let Die‘ (1992).

Simultaneously, G Rap & DJ Polo gained notoriety as members of The Juice Crew, whose noteworthy membership includes DJ Marley Marl, Big Daddy Kane, Masta Ace, & Roxanne Shante. At the height of hip-hop’s golden age, The Juice Crew was the definition of innovative and not only influenced the culture as a whole (style, lyricism, creativity), but also impressed the importance of style, substance, & technique upon the next wave of ambassadors (Nas, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., etc).

After a successful run with DJ Polo & The Juice Crew, G Rap embarked on a solo-career, with his solo debut, ‘4, 5, 6‘, appearing in 1995, which was preceded by ‘Roots of Evil‘ (1998) & ‘The Giancana Story‘ (2002) which featured AZ, Nas, Joell Ortiz, Mobb Deep, & CNN. Six years later, G Rap released ‘Half a Klip‘ (2008), which included production from DJ Premier & DJ Marley Marl.

Tomorrow (6.2.2017), Kool G Rap will release his new solo album, ‘Return Of The Don‘, which is entirely produced by MoSS and features a veritable who’s who list of new & familiar spitters; Freeway, Noreaga, Sean Price, Cormega, Raekwon, Sheek Louch, Saigon, Termanology, Fame, KXNG Crooked, Conway The Machine & Westside Gunn (the newest signees to Eminem’s Shady Records), and the late Sean Price.
