Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on August 01, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Coolio! From sliding into our lives with the timeless groove of "Gangsta's Paradise," you've kept us nodding heads and humming along for decades. Your iconic hairstyle alone deserves its own star on Hollywood Boulevard—seriously, it's legendary!

Whether you're cooking up beats or literally cooking in your kitchen (we haven't forgotten about "Cookin' With Coolio"), you always bring flavor to everything you do. Here's hoping this birthday is as fantastic—and slightly outrageous—as your unforgettable rhymes.

Keep it cool, keep it real; here's to another year of making music history and staying forever young at heart!
