Often cited as one of the most influential and skilled MCs of all time, Kool G Rap performs his first UK tour in 25 years, as he headlines Leeds Wardrobe, Manchester Sound Control & Bristol Fleece this Summer 2017.

After a 6-year hiatus, the legendary MC has a new album on the way (his last releases were in 2011 & 2002), so expect a mixture of old classics as well as brand new material at these very rare special shows.

As a member of the Juice Crew, Kool G Rap began his career in the mid-1980’s, hailed as a pioneer of mafioso rap, street, hardcore and multisyllabic rhyming. As a result, he has been name-checked as a major influence to some of hip-hop’s most prominent figures including Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas and Eminem, to name a few.

This tour is as rare and one-off as you can get, don’t miss this very special opportunity to see one of the greats, live, up close and personal, in an intimate venue near you.

Kool G Rap will be at Manchester Sound Control on Wednesday 21st June at 19:30.
Tickets are available here.
