Queens-based hip-hop icon Kool G Rap left one of the most enduring and impressive rap discographies in his wake.

Coming up with fellow Queens natives Juice Crew collective in the late 80s alongside artists like Biz Markie, Roxanne Shanté and Big Daddy Kane, G Rap was a technical stylist who practically solidified the toolbox of modern-day “lyrical” MCs: internal rhymes, repeating syllables and effortless cool.

His unique style and storytelling abilities wrapped with his cunning lyricism has come to inspire artists from the likes of Big Pun, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar and Nas to only name a few.

We’re excited to invite Kool G Rap back to our stage for his first London show since 2018.
