: MC J & Cool G

This duo from Halifax (one was a singer, one was a rapper) hit it big with “So Listen,” a pop/R&B rap joint that also had a remix that did just as well. They followed that up with a song called “Soft As Silk,” which was also a great song as well. This duo has the distinction of being the first Black act signed to Capitol Records in Canada. They have spoken at various conventions, and currently reside in Ontario. Radio station CKDU-FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia, was instrumental in their rise to fame during the New Jack era in Canada. MC J & Cool G often used the term "Double R&B" to describe their sound: Rap, Rhythm & Blues.
