>The Coolio song “I Remember” has the line “runnin through the streets of Monessen PA.” He wasn’t from here, but someone in his band was.

He was actually born in Monessen. It seems he claimed he was born in LA at times and some sources ran with it.

I’ve seen some say he was from Monessen due to the lyric, but others said he wasn’t. If I ever run into him I’ll ask.
