Kokane, also known as Jerry B. Long, Jr. (born 1969), is a rapper from Pomona, California best known for his co-appearances on Dr. Dre's album 2001 and the work on G-funk album Funk Upon A Rhyme and his backup work with Snoop Dogg in Tha Last Meal album, who signed him to Dogghouse Records, bringing a renewed sense of promise to Kokane's long-running career. He is the son of Motown composer "Jerry Long, Sr.". He started his career at Eazy-E's Ruthless Records, co-writing songs for N.W.A and Above the Law. He released his first solo album under the name "Who Am I?". He signed with Koch Records, forming a new group, The Hood Mob, led by him, joined by Cricet and Contraband. They released an album on July 3, 2006.

Career

His first release, Addictive Hip Hop Muzick in 1991 was credited as "Who Am I?". 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 '70s that most influences his style. His eccentric vocal approach is half fluid rapping and half weird P-funk-influenced singing. He began his career as a vocalist in the mid-'80s as rap was first appearing in his native Los Angeles before eventually signing to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records label in 1991. In his second album, Funk Upon a Rhyme, he completely changed his style, incorporating a great deal of singing and packin' it with G Funk. Two years later, Kokane was a free agent. He left Ruthless right after Eazy-E death. He has worked with artists such as Above The Law, N.W.A., Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Tha Eastsidaz, Cypress Hill, E-40, Nipsey Hussle, among others. He continues to make music today and still contributes to the West Coast rap scene.
