'Tis the season for old school rap artists to come to Milwaukee, apparently. Coming hot off the heels of R. Kelly and Snoop Dogg last month, Coolio – as first reported by Milwaukee Record – will pop by The Mad Planet to perform at a very special Friday Retro Dance Party on Feb. 24.
The 21-and-over event will open at 9 p.m., with a $15 cover charge at the door. Following his performance, the "Gangsta's Paradise" rap star will host a meet-and-greet with fans, while the party itself rages on until closing time (2:30 a.m.).
Coolio's no stranger to Milwaukee; in fact, last summer, he hit the Wisconsin State Fair main stage as a part of the I Love The '90s Tour, alongside Salt-N-Pepa, Color Me Badd and Rob Base. Unfortunately, he won't be back for the tour's return to State Fair this summer – replaced by Vanilla Ice, Kid 'n Play, Tone Loc and Young MC, and All-4-One – so this surprise Mad Planet visit will have to do.
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage that, if we're lucky, will feature this essential gem:

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
