MC J (James McQuaid) and Cool G (Richard Gray) were a Canadian Hip Hop group from Halifax,Nova Scotia. They relocated to Montreal in the late 80's to get in to the music business. In 1989 They became the first rap act to be signed to Capitol Records in Canada. In 1990 They released their debut album So Listen which featured the singles "So Listen" and "Smooth as Silk". They recieved three Juno nominations which placed them as pioneers in Canadian hip hop. The Duo called their style of music "Double R&B" (Rap, Rhythm and Blues) due to the fact that MC J was the rapper and Cool G mostly sang the choruses. Their sound was New Jack Swing which was popular at the time. |
