This week’s Indiesent Exposure selection features a new EP from a Hip-Hop legend that shows there is no age limit for creating quality music for the streets and beyond.
Whenever you have the chance, please let all of the talented Indiesent Exposure artists and the Planet Ill crew know what you think of the music in our comments section!
Here we go:
In 2011, there are times that the term “Gangsta Rap” just make a listener want to automatically roll their eyes.
Those words typically now signify styles of clothing, stereotypes and promotion of fuzzy VHS bootleg Tony Montana fantasies (or “Gangster of the Day” YouTube fever dreams) rather than defining the quality of a genre worth your time. The best kinds of music generally shows mastery of expressing different subjects with great production, feeling and skills in the mix. With that in mind, it’s no wonder why Queens, New York’s Kool G Rap is still the undisputed master of street noir for the Hip-Hop nation.
Since appearing on the scene with the Juice Crew over 20 years ago, the MC has consistently put out hardcore intelligent Hip-Hop that shows the good, the bad and the ugly of life with detailed narratives painted onhis own and with guests.
His latest release is the independent 8 track EP, Offer You Can’t Refuse, an appetizer to his upcoming full-length album that’s dropping later this year.
With banging beats from producers like Alchemist, Domingo, Pokerbeats and more, Kool G Rap shows he hasn’t missed a step. The two guest appearances fit in well with the EP’s flow with nice showings from Havoc of Mobb Deep & Scar Child doing their thing on their respective songs.
With An Offer You Can’t Refuse (and hell why should you, it’s FREE), Kool G Rap holds it down as one of the true O.G. heads of Hip-Hop; still influencing multiple generations of MCs and showing that real gangsters – music and otherwise – don’t engage in talk, they show and prove with that they’re about.
