Live & Let Die is the final album recorded by the Hip Hop duo of Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, released in November 1992 on Cold Chillin' Records. The album drew controversy over the cover, depicting two white men in nooses, and the duo feeding a pair of rottweilers in front of them. The album was eventually pulled off of shelves because of this, and remains out of print. MC Kool G Rap went solo after the release.
Album includes rap hits "Ill Street Blues" and "On The Run".
