KOOL KEITH
Kool Keith, is an American rapper from The Bronx, New York. A founding member of Ultramagnetic MCs, Kool Keith has recorded prolifically both as a solo artist and in group collaborations. Kool Keith is the self-proclaimed inventor of horrorcore, and is generally considered to be one of hip-hop’s most eccentric and unusual personalities.
After continuing with Ultramagnetic for two more albums, Thornton released his first notable solo single, “Earth People,” in 1995, under the name Dr. Octagon. This was followed by the release of Dr. Octagonecologyst the following year. The album’s production was acclaimed by critics, and the album was released nationally by DreamWorks Records in 1997 (after an initial release on the smaller Bulk Recordings label a year prior). DreamWorks also issued an instrumental version of the album, titled Instrumentalyst. Thornton followed the album with Sex Style in 1997, under the name he would henceforth be known as, Kool Keith.

After the track Onyx signed a recording contract with Def Jam and were promised an album which became 1993′s Bacdafucup LP.
