In March 2023, Coolio’s estate announced that the hip-hop legend had been working on an album in the days leading up to his death
Coolio 's posthumous album includes guest appearances from Naughty By Nature's Treach, Da Lench Mob's J-Dee, and Ras Kass on a project that was not intended to be the rapper's last.
Titled “Long Live Coolio,” the forthcoming LP is a celebration of the Grammy award-winning MC, best known for his ’90s classics “Gangsta’s Paradise” and “Fantastic Voyage." His representatives on Friday exclusively shared with The Associated Press the 11-song track list and who will be heard on the album when it is released later this year.
“A Star Is Born”, the latest track from the release — a collaboration between Naughty By Nature’s Treach, MC Shan, and Coolio’s long time producer/collaborator DJ Wino — premiered on Friday, a track that doubles as a history lesson in Coolio’s path to superstardom. The video was filmed in Las Vegas. “When I heard Coolio's verse, I'm like, ‘Yo, it feels like the homie is still here,” Treach said, showing off a large portrait tattoo of his labelmate Coolio on his chest. “How do we want people to think of him? We just want them to always think of him. That’s what it's about — keeping your homies' names in the streets. Tupac just got a star in Hollywood. We don't just say it when our brothers are here. We say it until we meet up with them again.
“Coolio told his story in the second verse,” said DJ Wino. “This song was not meant to be posthumous.”
