88.5 KGNU Presents: Kool Keith21+
Kool Keith is a legend in the world of hip-hop, celebrated for his surreal, abstract lyrics and boundary-pushing creativity. A Bronx native, Keith first made waves as a cofounding member of Ultramagnetic MCs, whose 1988 debut Critical Beatdown became a cornerstone of innovative hip-hop. In 1996, Keith reinvented himself as Dr. Octagon with the release of Dr. Octagonecologyst, a critically acclaimed solo debut that cemented his reputation as one of the genre’s most eccentric and groundbreaking figures.
Over his prolific career, Kool Keith has released a staggering number of albums, including underground classics like Sex Style, First Come, First Served (as Dr. Dooom), and Keith. Beyond his solo work, he’s collaborated with groups like Analog Brothers, Masters of Illusion, and Thee Undatakerz, as well as appearing on tracks with Jurassic 5, Peeping Tom, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. From shaping hip-hop’s avant-garde to leaving his mark on mainstream hits like The Prodigy’s "Smack My B***h Up," Kool Keith remains an unmatched force in music, constantly redefining what it means to be an artist.
