Born Artis Leon Ivey Jr., the Miami native started rapping in the 1980s before getting his big break with the Grammy Award-winning "Gangsta's Paradise" (Tommy Boy/RCA/Warner Bros.) It was featured in Dangerous Minds, starring Michelle Pfeiffer. The track reached #1, where it remained for three weeks. 

As reported by TMZ, Coolio was visiting a friend in L.A. earlier this afternoon when he went to use the bathroom and never emerged. The friend became concerned and went to check on Coolio, finding him lying on the ground. The emergency crew arrived and declared him dead on the spot.

Paramedics believe he suffered a fatal heart attack, although no official cause has been given. 

This is very sad news. I witness first hand this man’s grind to the top of the industry. Rest In Peace @Coolio https://t.co/vCeyn08Vsi
