Straight outta Philadelphia, <en>Schoolly D</en> is one of the earliest exponents of gangster rap along with the likes of Ice-T, Toddy Tee and Kool G Rap. With a long and illustrious career, he has produced several classic albums and collaborated with diverse artists such as Mekon, Joe Delia, and Abel Ferrara (director of Driller Killer), providing music for numerous films.

His unique style and influential contributions have made him a standout figure in the genre. Known for his raw lyrics and gritty delivery, <en>Schoolly D</en> paved the way for future generations of rap artists.

If you enjoy the sounds of Kool Moe Dee, Stetsasonic, 3rd Bass, Mc Shan, T La Rock, Boogie Down Productions, Special Ed, Tim Dog or any other artist from this era who pushed boundaries and challenged conventions in hip-hop music - then you'll definitely appreciate what <en>Schoolly D</en> brings to the table.

Schoolly is considered within the hip-hop industry to be the creator of gangster rap with his globally acclaimed singles "P.S.K." and "Gucci Time." Schoolly D has transcended the boundaries of genre and has created "rap" music that has been integrated in films, animated series, and sampled by some of the most prolific acts in music including the Beastie Boys, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Lil' Wayne, the Chemical Brothers, and others. Deemed a "pioneer" by Jay-Z (Decoded, 09) and credited by Ice-T as releasing the first gangsta rap record (Props Magazine), Schoolly D's career has given inspiration to countless musicians and fans alike. Songs like "Gucci Time," "Saturday Night" and "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" have become classics and illustrate the uncompromising narrative that has become synonymous with the hardcore gangsta rap of the eighties. His true-to-life lyrics give a snap shot of the streets of his hometown, Philadelphia, and the influences that drugs and gang life had on him as a young man. Today, Schoolly D has an almost cult-like following, as his music continues to be referential. Even younger generations have been turned onto him thanks to his work with Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
