Half a Klip

Half a Klip is the fourth album by American rapper Kool G Rap, released on February 5, 2008, by Chinga Chang, Latchey and Koch Records.

Half a Klip was Kool G Rap's first solo release since 2002's The Giancana Story and features nine original songs and two bonus tracks, showcasing the veteran rapper maintaining his gritty storytelling style while experimenting with a more contemporary sound.

The only glaring weak spot on the album is "Turn It Out," a track that is just as cheesy as its horribly cliché hook; "riding to the club, candy coated on the dubs."

That doesn't mean Half A Klip is flawless otherwise, other than on the original version of "100 Rounds" (from Domingo's The Most Underrated), and "With a Bullet" do you really get the G Rap of old; spitting breathless flames at a rapid pace".

[4] Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters gave Half a Klip a score of five out of ten and noted "[Kool G Rap's] rhymes are still gritty, grimy, and gory, and his flow is still intricately smooth, but the project as a whole travels lighter than you’ll want from an artist of his caliber".
