Kool G Rap – Return Of The Don [Album Stream]

Here’s an early stream of Kool G Rap’s new album, “Return Of The Don”. The 11-track offering is entirely produced by MoSS and features guest verses from Freeway, Noreaga, Cormega, Raekwon, Sheek Louch, Saigon, Termanology, Fame, KXNG Crooked, Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn and the late Sean Price. “What motivates me to get in the studio is really being in that creative zone that you cannot just enter on demand” G Rap stated. “It is more like an extremely powerful vibe that overcomes you. It’s triggered by hearing a particular track, or being inspired by another artist; or, a life experience that makes your mind and heart open up and lyrics just pour from your soul in the capacity of an avalanche. That’s what The Return Of The Don represents; an amalgamation of past, present and future and a tribute to some of my most favorite spitters worldwide; this is my salute to those artists.” Stream the album below and cop a copy via iTunes.
