Biography
Early life Coolio was born in Compton, California, the son of Jackie
Slater, a factory worker, and Artis Leon Ivey Sr., a carpenter. His parents
divorced and Coolio was getting in trouble outside home as he spent time
with Baby Crips gang members, although he was never formally inducted nor
accepted into the gang and therefore not considered as a member of a
gang.[LINK:
