The group disbanded shortly after the release of Curb Servin’. In 1994, Coolio released his debut album “It Takes a Thief” which featured the hugely successful singles, “Fantastic Voyage” and “It Takes a Thief”. In 1995 Coolio released his second and most successful album “Gangsta’s Paradise”, which went 4X Platinum and featured the mega hit, ‘Gangsta’s Paradise” and the popular party track, “Sumpin New’. The album ‘Gangsta’s Paradise” is considered by some to be a classic west coast Gangsta rap album, thanks to songs like “Exercise Yo Game” and “Geto Highlites.” His G-Funk sounding beats and soulful flow softens the typically edgy effect of rap.His hit song “Gangsta’s Paradise” combined singing with rap. Coolio’s recordings also appeared on the soundtracks to Clueless (1995) and Dangerous Minds (1995).
However, Coolio’s next few albums, 1997’s “My Soul”, 2002’s “El Cool Magnifico” and 2006’s “Return of the Gangsta”, failed to live up to the success of his first two albums.
