This is the follow-up to Kool G Rap’s 2011 project, Riches, Royalty & Respect, his lone full-length album of the decade until now.

From a technical standpoint, not too many MCs have the lyrical versatility of Kool G Rap. The godfather of Mafioso rap has been on hiatus for most of the decade, having just one full-length release back in 2011. But he’s back with the aptly titled Return of the Don to fully command his lane once again.
Scored in its entirety by Canadian producer MoSS (credits include nearly every name brand MC in the Tri-State area of the past five years), Return of the Don also employs the talents of Raekwon, Freeway, Noreaga, Fred The Godson, Cormega, Sheek Louch, Saigon, Termanology, Fame, KXNG Crooked, Conway The Machine & Westside Gunn (the newest signees to Eminem’s Shady Records) and the late, great Sean Price.
