Kool G Rap & DJ Polo

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo are an American hip hop duo from Queens, formed in 1987. Their work pairs Kool G Rap's dense, multisyllabic street narratives and rapid-fire delivery with DJ Polo's beats and turntable work, creating a gritty East Coast sound rooted in late 1980s hip hop. They are frequently cited as an early influence on later mafioso and hardcore rap approaches because of their vivid storytelling and complex rhyme techniques.
