Coolio Tries Comeback With Reality Show

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno

      Last year Coolio dropped an import-only album called “Return of the Gangsta” that barely made U.S. shores. Before that, he released an album in 2002 called “Cool Magnifico” but he really hasn’t had a hit since 1995’s “Gangsta’s Paradise.” Now he’s trying reclaim some of his former glory with a new reality show.

      The show, “Coolio & The Gang” will air on the Oxygen Network starting in the second quarter of 2008, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The show will focus on Coolio’s trials and tribulations as he tries to balance his rap career and raising six teenagers as a single parent.
