When musicians & performing artist from all across the globe are looking for a particular sound for their recordings, there is one voice that must be considered "Kokane"/ "Jerry B Long."

Kokane, also known as Jerry B. Long, Jr. is considered to be "The Most Featured Artist In The World." Born 1969, he is a rapper from Pomona, California best known for being signed & co-writing for Eazy E's "Ruthless Records" label, & his creative sound (which impacted the globe) called "G-Funk," which his 2nd album "Funk Upon A Rhyme" was heavily infested with. He is also known for his co-appearances on Dr. Dre's album 2001, & heavy collaboration with Snoop Dogg on the Tha Last Meal album, & countless of works with various artist through-out the years.

Though Kokane had been involved with the West Coast rap scene since the dawn of gangsta rap, Kokane's life has always included music, though it is the old school funk of the 1970s that most influences his style. His eccentric vocal approach is half fluid rapping & half weird P-funk-influenced singing. He started his career at Eazy-E's Ruthless Records, co-writing songs for N.W.A and Above the Law. Kokane's 1st release, Addictive Hip Hop Muzick in 1991 was credited as "Who Am I?". In his 2nd album, Funk Upon a Rhyme, he completely changed his style, incorporating a great deal of singing and packin' it with G Funk. After Eazy-E's death, he left Ruthless and has worked with artists such as Snoop, Dr. Dre, Tha Eastsidaz, Cypress Hill, E-40, Nipsey Hussle, P Diddy, Busta Rhymes, among many others. He continues to make music today and still contributes to the West Coast rap scene.
