Kool Keith is Spin.com's first-ever guest editor, and his five-day post marks the first time the content of a major music Website has been turned over to an artist. The former Keith Thornton, Kool Keith emerged in the late 1980's as a founding member of the legendary Bronx, New York-based Ultramagnetic MC's.

Since then, Kool Keith has recorded several critically acclaimed albums under pseudonyms, such as: Dr. Octogon ("Dr. Octagonynocologist," Dreamworks 1997), Dr. Doom ("First Come, First Served," Funky Ass Records 1999) and as his original alias Kool Keith ("Sex Style," Funky Ass Records 1997; "Black Elvis/Lost In Space," Columbia 1999).
