“Coolie High” is the first single from Uptown Saturday Night (see: Top 40 Hip Hop Albums Of 1997), the acclaimed debut studio album from Camp Lo.

Uptown Saturday Night is often hailed as a classic by fans and critics. Leo Stanley of Allmusic called the album “a refreshing fusion of Hip Hop, soul, and jazz that manages to avoid most jazz-rap clichés while retaining street credibility,” and “a worthwhile debut.”

The album cover is an homage to the album cover of Marvin Gaye‘s I Want You.
