Released on Rawkus at the turn of the millennium, the track finds G Rap weaving raw, cinematic tales of urban survival with his trademark multisyllabic flow. Backed by a tense, moody production, it captures both the menace and the magnetism of the city, blending hard reality with lyrical finesse.

The Streets stands as a reminder of why Kool G Rap is considered a blueprint for generations of MCs—an essential cut from Rawkus’ golden era that bridges classic East Coast grit with a sharper, modern edge.
