Dubcnn reached out to West Coast pioneer Kokane, who is getting ready to release his anticipated solo album “Gimme All Mine” on June 1st, for in-depth 2-part interview.
This is Part 1, where we talk about the reasons behind him moving to Seattle, growing a beard and hooking back up with his OG partners Above The Law and Tha Chill for his new album. Spiritual as ever, Koka aka Jerry Long tells us about his current mindstate, being a work in progress, promoting positivity and dedicating his life to God.
Of course he gives us details on his album, topics that he touches on, the message he’s trying to deliver and why this record is important for the West Coast. He also announces the upcoming remix to “Twilight Zone” with Crooked I.
