Road to the Riches is the debut album by hip hop duo Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, which was released in 1989 on then-prominent hip hop label Cold Chillin’ Records. The album is notable for being one of the blueprints for the mafioso rap trend with the title track “Road to the Riches,” which received strong rotation on the TV show Yo! MTV Raps, and was later featured on the old-school hip hop radio station Playback FM from the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Most of the songs, however, are not crime-related. Other popular songs included “It’s a Demo” and “Poison.” In 1998, Road to the Riches was selected as one of The Source’s “100 Best Albums”.
