"Too Hot / Exercise Yo Game," is a 1995 release by Coolio on Tommy Boy. The vinyl features two tracks, "Too Hot" and "Exercise Yo Game." Both songs showcase Coolio's signature sound, blending upbeat beats with socially conscious lyrics and catchy hooks.

Coolio (Leon Ivey Jr., 1963-2002) is a rapper, songwriter, and record producer, best known for his hit single "Gangsta's Paradise." As a member of the gangsta rap group WC and the Maad Circle, Coolio rose to fame in the mid-1990s with albums like It Takes a Thief (1994) and Gangsta's Paradise (1995) which was his best selling album with over 1 million copies sold. Coolio's unique style combined elements of funk, soul, and hip-hop, and his energetic performances and catchy hooks made him one of the most popular rap artists of his era.

 

The Tommy Boy logo is copied around the four corners of the vinyl sleeve. Track listing and song credits printed on vinyl in black ink.
