Artis Ivey, 1964, Compton, Los Angeles, California, USA. Boasting of a long, though infrequently recorded, career in hip-hop, rapper Coolio appeared alongside other west coast luminaries such as Dr. Dre when he was still with the World Class Wreckin' Crew. He even signed to Ruthless Records for a brief, unproductive spell. His debut release was 'Whatcha Gonna Do', one of the very first Los Angeles rap records, followed by 'You're Gonna Miss Me'.
After attending rehabilitation classes in an attempt to kick his cocaine habit, Coolio started making music again, with WC and DJ Alladin as part of WC And The MADD Circle (one album for Profile Records ). He then joined the 40 Theivz, a hip hop community made up of producers, rappers and dancers. Along with a friend called Dobbs the Wino, Coolio signed to Tommy Boy Records who released the single 'County Line' about his experiences on welfare assistance. 'Fantastic Voyage', based on Lakeside 's similarly-titled 1980 release, also made waves when released as a single, and Coolio's profile was further enhanced by an autumn tour with R&B megastar R. Kelly. It Takes A Thief became a major seller, going platinum and establishing Coolio at the forefront of mid-90s hip-hop. 'Gangsta's Paradise' was a resigned lament performed with the gospel singer 'LV' and a full choir that sampled Stevie Wonder 's 'Pastime Paradise'.
Artist Biography - Coolio
The single, featured in the film Dangerous Minds, went to number 1 in the US and the UK. In the UK this was the first time anything approaching true 'street rap' had achieved such sales. As the music business magazine Music Week commented, 'in Britain for such a record to reach number one is quite sensational'. It subsequently won a Grammy in 1996 for Best Rap Solo Performance.
The disappointing performance of My Soul was complicated by various legal difficulties. In late 1997, Coolio and seven members of his entourage were arrested for allegedly shoplifting from a German clothing store and assaulting the owner; he was later convicted on accessory charges and fined. Not long after that incident, German police threatened to charge Coolio with inciting crime after missing the humor behind his in-concert suggestion that listeners steal his album if they couldn't afford it. In the summer of 1998, Coolio was arrested again, this time in Lawndale, CA; he was pulled over and cited for driving on the wrong side of the road with an expired license and was also charged with carrying a concealed weapon (despite having alerted the officer to the presence of the unloaded semiautomatic pistol in the vehicle) and possessing a small amount of marijuana. Things weren't all bad, though; he appeared regularly on the revived Hollywood Squares and set up his own label, Crowbar. In 1999, he played triplets in the film Tyrone, but had to postpone a Crowbar promotional tour after an auto accident. He continued to take a number of small film roles, but his much-delayed fourth album remained only a rumor (though it was confirmed that he had recorded 'The Hustler,' a rap update of Kenny Rogers' 'The Gambler' with Rogers himself on vocals, back in 1998). Finally, five years after his last album, El Cool Magnifico appeared on the Dragon Riders label.
