A member of Philadelphia's Hilltop Hustlers crew, Cool C's laid-back rhymes are best heard on the 1989 singles "I Gotta Habit" and "Glamorous Life." He made his solo debut in 1987 with "Juice Crew Dis," a track that gained attention for its shots taken at the New York-based crew run by influential producer <a href="spotify:artist:0AqfGv5Nifg1klh0iH4Nqs">Marley Marl</a> (which included heavyweights <a href="spotify:artist:099tLNCZZvtjC7myKD0mFp">Kool G Rap</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6futYSDVulYR2PktBjTB5W">Big Daddy Kane</a>). A pair of 1988 singles for Hilltop and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22City+Beat%22">City Beat</a> landed Cool C a contract with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Atlantic%22">Atlantic</a>, where he released his two full-length solo albums, I Gotta Habit (1989) and Life in the Ghetto (1990). A couple years later, he put his solo career aside to join <a href="spotify:artist:3Z97aR67UEu5SR3EVwhb7M">C.E.B.</a> with Ultimate Eaze and <a href="spotify:artist:7HtxMkp03oA3C1d8KzImnm">Steady B</a>. The trio released Countin' Endless Bank on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Ruffhouse%22">Ruffhouse</a> in 1993. His life took a drastic downward slide a few years later, when he was found guilty of murdering a Philadelphia police officer during a bank robbery attempt. He was sentenced to death by lethal injection but was granted multiple stays of execution. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
