KOOL G RAP - Last of a Dying Breed - LP - Red Marble Vinyl [AUG 9]

LP - Red Marble Vinyl 

Kool G Rap, a pivotal figure in hip-hop’s golden era and the godfather of Mafioso rap, emerged from Queens in the late 80s and early 90s. As one half of the duo with DJ Polo, Kool G Rap released three classic albums: "Road To The Riches" (1989), "Wanted: Dead or Alive" (1990), and "Live and Let Die" (1992). Alongside DJ Polo, G Rap gained notoriety as a member of the Juice Crew, a collective that included iconic figures like DJ Marley Marl, Big Daddy Kane, Masta Ace, and Roxanne Shante. The Juice Crew was known for its innovative influence on hip-hop culture, emphasizing style, lyricism, creativity, and technical prowess.

Following his successful partnership with DJ Polo and the Juice Crew, Kool G Rap embarked on a solo career, debuting with "4, 5, 6" (1995). This was followed by "Roots of Evil" (1998), and "The Giancana Story" (2002). Although his solo releases have been intermittent, each project, including "Half a Klip" (2008), "Riches, Royalty, Respect" (2011), "Return Of The Don" (2017), and "Son Of G Rap" with 38 Spesh (2018), has been well-received.

In 2024, the recent National Hip-Hop Museum inductee returns with his first solo album in five years, "Last Of A Dying Breed". Entirely produced by Domingo, the album features collaborations with AZ, NEMS, Vado, 38 Spesh, Royal Flush, and Big Daddy Kane. "Last Of A Dying Breed" is available on limited edition vinyl, digipack CD, and cassette, solidifying Kool G Rap's enduring legacy in the hip-hop landscape.
