Description

Kool Keith has been hustling since the '80s, switching labels, personas and producers throughout his prolific career. He's also been known to perform wearing nothing but a cape, an Elvis wig and pink Speedos. Longtime fans will also confirm that bags of fried chicken and Capri Suns are thrown into the audience during his live shows. To say he's eccentric is an understatement, but these antics add a funny mystic to an already celebrated catalog. In the mid-'90s, Keith left New York and went West to work with Bay Area beat makers Kutmaster Kurt of Santa Cruz and Dan the Automator of San Francisco. The results are his best solo works to date—the hilarious Sex Style and Doctor Octagon albums. Both of which were followed by two more wildly popular projects, Black Elvis: Lost In Space and Dr. Dooom. Keith still actively records and tours nowadays.
