Hip Hop Press - Hip Hop Press Releases

London -- (ArriveNet - Mar 17, 2006) --Almost twenty years has past since the legendary Kool G Rap entered the music arena and introduced an entire generation to his brand of reality Hip Hop. G Raps graphic tales of life on the streets has proven to be an inspiration to many of todays artists, which includes the likes of Jay-Z, Nas, Wu Tang and the late Tupac Shakur. Its the acknowledgement and respect garnered from these particular artists that has helped to keep the G-Rap legacy alive, some thing of which he is truly grateful for. In his first ever interview with UK online publication Write On Point Magazine, G Rap says, I really appreciate it when an artist such as Jay-Z lets it be known that this was a great dude. Let's not forget this dude, he was one of my inspirations, he was an inspiration to many. That's my reward from the game. I can watch the film "Tupac- Resurrection" and see my name in Tupac's notes listing his inspirational figures. That's major to me. I definitely feel good about that, it's definitely an honour.

Even though G Rap has already cemented his place in the Hip Hop history books, he is not prepared to rest on his laurels. Within the next couple of months expect to see the release of a new solo project, the release of a mixtape with Green Lantern and an as yet to be titled autobiography which will chronicle his early success, his absence from the scene and his turbulent relationship with the now infamous Karrine Superhead Steffans. Also expect to hear more from his group, 5 Family Click who he says will all be dropping solo projects in the very near future.

On the topic of his group, 5 Family Click and its growth, G Rap explains 5 Family Click is a click that currently consists of three different clicks so far. We are going to get out the five to make the whole 5 Family thing official, but we are not rushing. We are very selective on who we recruit. My company Igloo Productions is currently looking at other artists that we have just come across, but nothing has been solidified yet.
