Kokane Sits Down With Dubcnn For An In-Depth Interview!
George Clinton officially named him the Duke Of Funk; with the blessings from the legend himself, there is nothing holding Pomona's funkiest man Kokane back anymore. Our features on Koka have all been special, as we followed his path from his "Ghetto Gospel" project, over his Fingazz-produced "Take It Back To The Clap" album, to his current project, "Painkillerz".
We caught up with him once again, and once again it's a monster of an interview. Kokane tells us about his current label situation, having been through more shit than most artists in this game. But 75 million records later, he's still standing and ready to take on the game one more time, with Circle Music.
We speak on the title "Painkillerz", which has a deeper meaning behind it than you might imagine. He sings alot throughout the interview, giving us exclusive previews from the album, which includes collaborations with George Clinton, Jayo Felony, Kam, Pimpin' Young, Redman, Xzibit amongst others.
There's also a special appearance in the interview by Josef Leimberg, the young producer who provided the music for the entire "Painkillerz" album. Find out why Kokane chose this man to produce his new album.
Of course, Kokane speaks on his struggles in this industry, his current mindstate, aswell as his upcoming projects, including a duo album with Suga Free entitled "Suspended Animation: Suga Kane".
Those are only a few of the topics we touch on, don't miss out on this interview. To read it or listen to it now, click below:
