Grammy Award-winning rapper Coolio has died at the age of 59.
The rapper, best known for his chart-topping 1995 hit 'Gangsta's Paradise', was reportedly found unresponsive at a friend's house in Los Angeles, per TMZ. Tributes have been pouring in for the star, who regularly visited Dublin and collaborated with Irish artists.
In recent years, the Pennsylvania native filmed a video in Ringsend with rap group Versatile, took an interest in GAA while supporting the boys in blue and enjoyed a night out in Conor McGregor's Crumlin pub, The Black Forge. Mere months ago, he spoke about working on a "banger" of a track with Aslan frontman Christy Dignam.
