Gangsta's Paradise (Coolio) on Ukulele and Guitar

I first did this song as a ukulele solo. It was a challenge to do rap for me but it was a lot of fun. This is song 10 of 12 in our February 2010 set.




The audiences really responded well to this song. Some even taped the whole song on their phones. I should have asked one of them to send me a copy. But, in the heat of performance, I just went on to the next song.

Cypress Street Band:

Ronin Wong - rap, vocals, ukulele
Michael Millar, vocals, electric guitar
Marianne Wong - vocals, acoustic guitar

Jennifer Rashleigh - camera, sound, editing

There's also a live performance version of this song.
