Nathaniel Thomas Wilson (Queens, Nueva York; 20 de julio de 1968), más conocido por
su nombre de escenario Kool G Rap, o simplemente G Rap, y originalmente conocido
como Kool Genius of Rap, es un rapero estadounidense de la costa este. Este se mudó
desde el barrio de Corona a Queens. Comenzó su carrera a mediados de los años 80s,
donde en el mismo periodo junto a DJ Polo formó un dueto llamado Kool G Rap & DJ
Polo, donde luego se unieron al grupo Juice Crew, en donde destacaban raperos como
Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Marley Marl y MC Shan.

Kool G Rap es a menudo citado como uno de los raperos más influyentes y expertos
MCs de todos los tiempos.,1 como uno de los pioneros del mafioso
rap/street/hardcore y básicamente el creador de las rimas multisilábicas.2 En su
álbum The Giancana Story, este nos explica que la "G" de su apodo es por "Giancana"
(referencia al gánster Sam Giancana), pero en ocasiones él se refiere a esta como
la abreviación de "Genio".3

Es también citado como una de las mayores influencias de algunas de las más
críticamente aclamadas figuras del hip-hop tales como The Notorious B.I.G., Nas,
Eminem y Jay-Z, y muchos otros raperos underground.45
