Four shows for the 90s commercial hip hop master.
Many of you who are a certain age will no doubt hold a very special place in your hearts for urban artist Coolio; his smash hit Gangsta's Paradise was so freaking huge back in the mid-'90s that it feels practically anthemic when you hear it these days.
Anyway, he came out to Australia for the Falls Festival over New Year's and must have had a pretty good time because he's already announced his return, with four shows in Australia scheduled for next month.
He's done plenty since his heyday, though. He now has … records to his name, he's made a whole stack of appearances on all manner of different TV shows and films. Hell, the dude even started his own online cooking show, which was so well received that he wrote a freaking cook book! Coolio is the man, basically.
