• Vinyl - https://www.fatbeats.com/pr…/kool-g-rap-return-of-the-don-lp

On 6-2-17, Kool G Rap will release his new solo album, Return Of The Don, which is entirely produced by MoSS and features a veritable who’s who list of new and familiar spitters; Freeway, Noreaga, Cormega, Raekwon, Sheek Louch, Saigon, Termanology, Fame, KXNG Crooked, Conway The Machine & Westside Gunn (the newest signees to Eminem’s Shady Records) and the late Sean Price.  “Rest in peace to Sean Price who I was fortunate enough to record with” G Rap commented. 

“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."

Canadian born (and a Toronto resident), MoSS’ production credits are instantly recognizable and have resulted in over 2 million record sales worldwide. Ghostface Killah’s smash hit “Kilos”, Raekwon’s ”Have Mercy”, Obie Trice’s entire Special Reserve album and most recently his debut producer album, Marching To The Sound Of My Own Drum, which featured appearances from Joe Budden, DJ Premier, AZ, Joell Ortiz, Sean Price, Jon Connor, Skyzoo, Inspectah Deck, Havoc, Slum Village and others.  
MoSS reflected on the creative journey that would become Return Of The Don. "G Rap and I have worked together a few times over the years and we reconnected and started recording songs that ended up being the foundation to The Return Of The Don.  The album kind of took on a life of its own."

Can I get a GEAH!?!?

For two decades MC Eiht has been one of hip-hop’s most recognizable voices in hip-hop; and undisputedly one of Compton’s finest originators and emcees. 

A straight menace, MC Eiht burst onto the scene with Compton’s Most Wanted Music To Driveby.  Released just months after the LA Riots, Music To Driveby was a manifesto for the nihilism, frustration and anger that permeated the region and is universally hailed as a Gangsta Rap classic. 

Similarly, Eiht also contributed vital components and compositions to genre defining movies, offering the chilling “Growin’ Up In The Hood” to Boyz N The Hood and following up Music To Driveby with a star turn as A-Wax in Menace 2 Society, which included his stand-out contribution (“Streight Up Menace”) to the movies soundtrack. 
Though accredited as MC Eiht featuring Compton’s Most Wanted, Eiht took on a more singular role with We Come Strapped, which was certified Gold and peaked at #1 on the Billboard charts and his sophomore solo project Death Threatz which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Charts. 

While Eiht has always remained active; including an EP release (Keep It Hood), his scene-stealing appearance on Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City (“m.A.A.d City”) and his recent contribution (“Central Ave”) to DJ Quik & Problem’s Rosecrans album (which officially ended his vicious feud with Quik) Eiht gallantly returns with his first solo-album in a decade, Which Way Iz West, which will be released on 6-30-17 and aligns him with DJ Premier, who executive produced the project and also produces four tracks as well (Eiht’s long-time collaborator Brenk Sinatra produced the rest of the project). Featured guests on Which Way Iz West include WC, B-Real, Xzibit, Kurupt, Lady Of Rage, MayLAy, Big Mike, The Outlawz, Bumpy Knuckles (AKA Freddie Foxxx) and Compton’s Most Wanted.

The union of these two legends will be released conjunctly by Eiht’s Blue Stamp label and Preemo’s Year Round Records imprint. 

After releasing the first video (and single), “Represent Like This” f/ WC and DJ Premier, Eiht unleashes the project’s second single, “Compton Zoo” which was premiered by Vibe. “Compton Zoo” signifies the struggle in and out of music and  how I feel about the current state of hip-hop” Eiht declared to Vibe.  “Just like Preemo digs deep into them crates for the scratch chorus, I can still express myself and dig deep as well.  GEAH.”  DJ Premier also offered Vibe some exclusive comments “Eiht kept sending me new songs to pick from as we were completing the album. “Compton Zoo” was one of the last new tracks he sent me and I immediately told him that this needed to be a single.  I told Eiht, I’m going to put a scratch somehow in the hook so I can be a part of this.  GEAH.”

Nobody's Safe

Ice Cream Sandwiches (feat. Tug McRaw & Kool Keith)

Scriptures;

Follow truth 
Don’t let moods
Get the best of ya 

I got room to improve 
Like the rest us 

Mistakes won’t mention 
Blessings 

All things take time 

Be patient put intent 
Listen 

When god replies 
Most high 

Why you always in a mood
Take a breath and feel brand new 
Go turn off the fucking news 
Only leaving us confused
We don’t need anymore proof 
Life’s a mess just like a broom 
Nothing’s perfect I assume 
Breaking out of the cocoon 
Be the best version of you 

Hold it together 
Be the glue

Got people counting up on you 

It ain’t all about the loot 

Times the only thing we lose 

So whatcha gonna do
Use your vessel as tool 
Accept what you can’t control 
No matter what I’m pushing through 
Elephant is in the room 
Grateful for what’s in your view 
Good or bad we adapt to 
Inside is infinite fuel 
No one could do what you do 

Special like superhero 

Take risk and break all of the rules

Tell me which path you gon’ choose 

Why you always in a mood 
Consumed

One thing I never do’s assume 

Get out your feelings and move 
We can cruise 

Look at how much that we grew 

Can’t move forward if you stay in the past
Opportunity pours but you must take a chance 

It’s not a war with your self potential will never end 
One closed door means another opens 

Let’s take it where there are no roads 
Faith and trust in the unknown 
Greeting us just like shalom 
Anywhere we goes our home 
Peter Pan how I’m dreaming 
Feel I met you for reasons

Others ones were for seasons

Dead and gone 

I burned my timber by the lake 
Human meant to make mistakes 
Try again it’s a missed take 
Life is sweeter than date 
They wanna take me out like dates 
Some friends fake left without trace 
In their genes built in there traits 
Killed the roaches without raid 
Break down all the walls like a raid 
Know my worth I need a raise 
Only I create my rate 
Get the picture like cherades 
Find my way up out this maze 
It’s a journey not a race 
Time for yourself's not a waste 
Stick to what you love like paste 

Whether or not you get paid 

Money’s on the way 

Fuck minimum wage 

Why you always in a mood 
Consumed

One thing I never do’s assume 

Get out your feelings and move 
We can cruise 

Look at how much that we grew 

Can’t move forward if you stay in the past
Opportunity pours but you must take a chance 

It’s not a war with your self potential will never end 
One closed door means another opens
