Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo were a pioneering hip-hop duo from Queens, New York, active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They were known for their gritty street narratives and complex rhyme schemes, playing a crucial role in shaping hardcore and mafioso rap. The duo caught the attention of Juice Crew producer and DJ Marley Marl, who allowed them to record a demo that resulted in the song "It's a Demo." Written and recorded in one night, the track impressed Marley, leading him to embrace Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo as part of the crew. Kool G. Rap secured a record deal through DJ Polo, and together they recorded three albums before Kool G. Rap went solo.
