ROAD TO THE RICHES by KOOL G RAP & DJ POLO

Hiphop classic, produced by Marley Marl, available for the first time as a quadruple LP set, including the original album, and a plethora of substantial bonus material, from artwork to audio. Tip!!Kool G Rap DJ Polo’s “Road to the Riches” had been a long time coming when Cold Chillin’ released it in 1989. It didn’t disappoint. After some successful singles and G Rap’s contributions to Marley Marl’s Juice Crew, the duo arrived almost fully formed on its debut. Whether boasting (his greatest strength at this point) or spinning tales, G Rap’s knife-edged rhymes -- delivered with the hardest-sounding lisp in hip-hop -- tear through Marley Marl’s productions and DJ Polo’s scratching with all the ferocity of a pit bull devouring a piece of meat.
