His mainstream career, which includes three additional top 40 successes and two songs on the “Space Jam” soundtrack, was propelled by the success of that single and the album of the same name.
In addition, Coolio used his reputation to acquire scores of film roles, including one in George Clooney’s 1997 film “Batman & Robin.”
