Artis Leon Ivey Jr. (August 1, 1963 – September 28, 2022), known by his stage name Coolio, was an American rapper, songwriter and record producer. He was best known for his single "Gangsta's Paradise" (1995), which won a Grammy Award, and was credited for changing the course of hip-hop by bringing it to a wider audience. Other singles included "Fantastic Voyage" (1994), "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)" (1996), and "C U When U Get There" (1997). He released nine albums, the first three of which achieved mainstream success: It Takes a Thief (1994), Gangsta's Paradise (1995), and My Soul (1997). Coolio first achieved recognition as a member of the gangsta rap group WC and the Maad Circle. Coolio sold 4.8 million albums in the U.S. He also created the six-episode reality television show Coolio's Rules (2008), the web series Cookin' with Coolio, and published a cookbook.
Cookin' with Coolio is a web-based cooking instruction program which hosted by West Coast rapper Coolio. The show is an offshoot of his reality show Coolio's Rules. It appears on the web video network My Damn Channel and is produced by Dead Crow Pictures. The show is also a promotion for a cookbook by Coolio of the same name. Coolio often referred to himself as the "ghetto Martha Stewart" and the "black Rachael Ray." He started cooking when he was young, and learned with simple ingredients as he lacked basic necessities to prepare elaborate dishes.
This is the discography of Coolio, an American rapper.
My Soul is the third studio album by rapper Coolio, released on August 26, 1997, and was his last album for Tommy Boy Records. The album was produced by Romeo, Vic C., Bryan "Wino" Dobbs, and DJ I-Roc.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
