In mid-1990, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo released their sophomore album, Wanted: Dead Or Alive. Heavily produced by Large Professor (then of Main Source), the LP is widely considered one of G Rap’s best works. The Cold Chillin’/Warner Bros. Records release spawned dynamic singles like “Streets Of New York” and “Erase Racism,” and featured Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Freddie Foxxx, and others.
Speaking with 24HH, Large Pro’ reveals that Bobby Brown was not only a fan of G Rap and Polo, but he wanted to make songs with the pair. As a follow-up to Bobby’s 1988 #1 Don’t Be Cruel album, he stepped to the MC and producer and invited them to his Bosstown Studios. Reportedly, the former New Edition member wanted to do an entire album.
