Kokane is most known for crooning the Parliament-inspired chorus on Dr. Dre's "Let Me Ride." The longtime Above The Law affiliate has been signed to Ruthless Records, Doggystyle Records and was reportedly courted by G-Unit, where he appeared on Tony Yayo's album.
Titled High Powered, Kokane's first disc in two years features appearances from Young Buck, Daz Dillinger, Teena Marie and Charlie Wilson of Gap Band fame. "I am passionate about this new project. This is a new vibe, reminiscent of that Motown 25 type music," said Kokane of the project, planned for summer 2008 release.
The artist, who first released albums dating back to 1994's Funk Upon A Rhyme, a project executive produced by Eazy E, added, "High Powered shows my growth over the last couple of years, but it also gives my fans the true Kokane they've gotten high on for years and yes, I keep it funky for the streets, because that's where I come from."
With Koch distribution, the release will come on High Powered Entertainment, which previously released albums from Tha Outlawz, Jayo Felony and Daz Dillinger.

Sayin that Kokane did the vocals for "Let Me Ride" is as rediculous as saying Suge Knight is going to appear on Snoop Dogg's next solo album holding his hand.
This statement is false - and often made (May 2000 edition of The Source made the same error).
Anyway, it is good to hear Koka is alive and kickin. Hope George will play a much larger part of this record than he did on Painkillerz!
Kokane with Bootsy and Dr. Funkenstein :o :o ;D

^^^^^^ + 1 Homie
Microphone Fiend I think was first released on the CU mixtape Kurupt Presents War Vol.1 in 2004
It has also been released untagged on a few other "compilations".
The "U Never Know" track is from a Dow Jones mixtape.
I had thought it was a rare new track by Kokane and Kurupt but.....
