Coolio My Soul (25th Anniversary Edition) 2LP

The third studio album by Coolio, My Soul was initially released on August 26, 1997 and celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2022. "C U When U Get There" (feat. 40 Thevz), the first single from the album was featured on the soundtrack to the 1997 comedy film Nothing to Lose. The song peaked at #12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #7 on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart. It was also an international success reaching the Top 10 in many countries throughout Europe.

Where others have failed as pop-rappers, Coolio succeeds because of his love of melody, message, and funky beats....[My Soul] is remarkably consistent, delivering very few subpar cuts over the course of the album. That would be enough to distinguish it from the ranks of overstuffed gangsta rappers, but what makes My Soul another winner is how Coolio is unafraid to be both serious and funny, catchy and funky. It's a small, subtle difference, but it's what makes My Soul a thoroughly enjoyable record, no matter if you're going out or staying in.
