This was a tip sent in by Michael, via a Philly Flava forum rip taken from a Crates of JR post – the original version of Kool G Rap and DJ Polo’s ‘Keep It Swingin’,’ a track that wound up as an inferior remix on the Rated XXX compilation in much the same way as ‘Enter The Dragon’ did. The loop seems to be taken from the same record as Lord Finesse’s ‘I Like My Girls With A Boom’ (‘Hip Hug Her’) and showcases G Rap during his tongue twisting phase. Great work, internets!

Robbie, I could have sworn you posted this before…
RAW DEAL WAS A TRULY INCREDIBLE SHOW AND PRB HAD A VERY STRONG SIGNAL WHICH MEANT THE TAPES WERE ALWAYS SUPER CRISP. REALLY DOESNT GET THE ACCLAIM IT DESERVES A TOP NOTCH MIXSHOW OF ITS ERA.
DOPE.
Cant stop playing this. Incredible find
Thanks for the shout-out, @jake!
I’ve been working on getting every Raw Deal/Club Krush episode I have posted at rawdealradio.com (and will be getting some of G’s soundboard recordings as well).
Be sure to check out the couple of early ’92 episodes where DJ Polo was in-studio pimping his 1-900 number.
man… prime G Rap …. era long past …. I’d put this era of G Rap against anyone in rap history, he was so beastly, almost effortlessly
No doubt Laze, you’ve been putting in work for years and deserve all the credit. Love the site and all the gems that come with it. Respect Due.
