The legendary Mr.Kane AKA Kokane returns with a new solo album this June.

LA, CA– (To say that music courses thru Kokane’s veins would be an understatement, as besides being an accomplished multi-dimensional artist (writing, producing, rapper, singer) in his own right, he is cousins with Big Hutch of the groundbreaking California duo known as Above The Law and made numerous appearances on their Uncle Sam’s Curse LP and he is the son of legendary Motown composer Jerry Long who composed hits such as “Just My Imagination,” “Ball Of Confusion” and “Still Waters Run Deep” (among many others) as a key contributor in the shaping of Berry Gordy’s Motown Records.

When discussing the West Coast’s most legendary and influential Hip-Hop artists, the talk often turns to a common theme; NWA, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, etc, and Kokane has worked with them all (including co-writing NWA’s “Appetite For Destruction” and providing the crooning found on Dr. Dre’s epic masterpiece The Chronic 2001) and while Kokane’s impact on the West Coast Music scene maybe understated—its also undeniable.  From his roots with Above The Law, to his solo-deal with Eazy E’s Ruthless Records (where he released two solo-LP’s), being signed to Snoop Dogg’s Dogghouse Records and subsequent collaborations with Hip-Hop’s most talented and top-selling artists including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg (he was predominantly featured on Tha Last Meal), 50 cent, Jadakiss, Xzibit, Young Buck, Spice 1, Too Short, NWA, Ice Cube, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton and countless other appearances has resulted in Kokane’s being the most featured artist in the world and his voice being included on over 35-million record sales over the course of his long and storied career.

With his seventh solo-LP, Gimme All Mine, (in-stores June 1st, 2010) Kokane aims to get his due respect and he does so by delivering a project that will appeal to every Hip-Hop fan of all regions.  Though he made his name with unforgettable guest appearances, aside from an essential re-union track (“Lay You Down”) with his Above The Law family, Kokane rejected the feature heavy trend that is so prevalent in today’s Hip-Hop industry on Gimmie All Mine in favor of the merits of his own voice.  Tracks such as the explosive single “Twilight Zone” (which is already creating a heavy viral presence on the Internet and will be available on iTunes on 4-20-10)), “Made A Difference” (a modern day “Today Was A Good Day”) and the Gangsta Gospel “Killing Fields” all include a discernible West Coast vibe, while tracks like the bouncy “Rollin Up On Hoez” contains the energy that southern rap fans admire so much.

Kokane’s Gimmie All Mine will be available at all retailers and online outlets on 6-1-2010 and will be released by Kane’s own Bud E Boy Label in conjunction with Bonzi and Fontana Distribution.

can't wait... 

i saw a video on ustream of kokane, in the studio with his sons ,singing a song, part of the hook was " i take my hat off you". Do you know if that song is on the record cause it was smooth as fuck!

[EKEK]

Here is the LP cover art...

[Detox Iz Not Active]

why is he waiting till June?  His marketing team is dumb as fuck

[Dogg Ly Dogg]

Only 12 tracks and no big names features except for ATL... well I know Kokane solo can rip that shit easy but
it would have been nice to see couple more big names here and there

[KURUPTION-81]

Will be getting this, not really liking the cover but that aint important.

If the album is ready he might as well bring the release date forward, june 1st is a long way off.

10) Jelly Jar. Is that this song about mixing and selling cocaine that he did a low-quality video for a while back?? That one could have been left out for sure...
still, seems like an interesting album though

[Gamestarr]

Hope the rest of tracks is as dope as Twilight Zone.

Im disappointed theres not a kurupt or a snoop feature. Snoop is ass nowadays but what he did on We Da West I fucks wit.

[LAZY]
