Text EntriesKool G Rap (Nathaniel Wilson, b. 1968) and DJ Polo (Thomas E. Pough, b. unknown) was a Hip-Hop duo from New York. The "Kool Genius of Rap" enjoyed a successful and, above all, influential run during the late '80s and early '90s. Kool G Rap debuted in 1986 on with the “It's a Demo/I'm Fly" single, which was recorded in Marley Marl’s studio. Marley Marl was so impressed that he instantaneously inducted Kool G Rap and DJ Polo into his Rap collective, the Juice Crew. Pough started his solo career in 1993, where he released one studio album, Polo's Playhouse, in 1998.
