Hip-hop

As an original member of the legendary Juice Crew, Kool G. Rap paved the way for future rap stars such as The Notorious B.I.G. and Raekwon with his multi-syllabic rhyme schemes and mafioso storytelling. However, like most of his pioneering counterparts, the days of being of being a household name have long been forgotten. While a few well placed cameos have kept him relevant, the absence of a solo album has prevented him from fully capitalizing on success. Attempting to resurrect what once was, G. Rap’s back after a six year hiatus with Half A Klip. While he shows signs of still being a capable MC, the album suffers immensely from uncreative street jargon over uninspiring production.
