plans to release a studio album later this year that the Grammy-winning hitmaker had been working on in the days before he died.

鈥淟ong Live Coolio鈥� will be the first posthumous album release from the 鈥淕angsta鈥檚 Paradise鈥� star and the first single, dropped Friday featuring Too $hort and DJ Wino.

The raunchy single鈥檚 video 鈥� that begins with Coolio and Too $hort in a boxing ring as various women gyrate 鈥� marks the last piece of visual content Coolio appeared in before his death from cardiac arrest on Sept. 28, 2022, at age 59.

Coolio won a Grammy for best solo rap performance for the 1995 hit from the soundtrack of the Michelle Pfeiffer film 鈥淒angerous Minds鈥� that sampled Stevie Wonder鈥檚 1976 song 鈥淧astime Paradise鈥� and was played constantly on MTV.

The rapper would never again have a song nearly as big as 鈥淕angsta鈥檚 Paradise,鈥� but had subsequent hits with 鈥淔antastic Voyage鈥� in 1994, 鈥�1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin鈥� New)鈥� in 1996 and 1997鈥檚 鈥淐 U When U Get There.鈥�

His career album sales totaled 4.8 million, with 978 million on-demand streams of his songs, according to Luminate. He would be nominated for six Grammys overall.

He starred in a reality show about parenting called 鈥淐oolio鈥檚 Rules,鈥� provided a voice for an episode of the animated show 鈥淕ravity Falls鈥� and performed the theme music for the Nickelodeon sitcom 鈥淜enan & Kel.鈥�
