He is the son of Motown staff composer/arranger “ Jerry B. Long Sr.” his works include { “Ball of Confusion”, “Just My Imagination”, “Still Waters Run Deep” } and many more. Jerry B. Long Jr’s life has always included music, mainly the old school funk of the 70’s , mid - 80’s as rap was first appearing in his native Los Angeles, although Jerry was originally born in Bronxville, New York. This led to him eventually signing to Eazy E’s Ruthless Record’s label in 1991’. In addition to co-writing “Appetite for Destruction” for NWA’s Niggaz 4 Life, Kokane also contributed to other West Coast rap albums such as Above the Law’s “Black Mafia Life”. His first solo single was “Nickel Slick Nigga” which appeared on the “Deep Cover Soundtrack” as well as his debut album for Ruthless/ Epic Records, “Who Am I.” His second album for Ruthless, “Funk Upon A Rhyme”, appeared in 1994’, the album made a huge impact oversea’s and now is rare collectors album which sells for $100.00 or more on Ebay, the album is also in reproduction in Japan. He appeared in late 1999 with a solo album on Eureka Records “They Call Me Mr. Kane”, yet this album never escaped the underground. Ironically, it was on the L.A. posse track found on Dr. Dre’s 2001’ album, “ Some L.A. Niggaz”. Kokane scored big; this encounter with Dre’s camp led to his relationship with Snoop, who signed him to Dogghouse Records, bringing him a renewed sense of promise to Kokane’s long running career. In 2000’ he was a major part of the success of Snoop Dogg’s “Tha Last Meal.” He appeared on 9 song features of the extremely successful album. His eccentric vocal approach is half fluid rapping and half weird P-funk influenced singing. This balance made Kokane a perfect choice to lay down the vocal hooks for Snoop’s album. After leaving DoggHouse Records he continues to work and appear on many successful records. Due to the controversy of his stage name “Kokane” he ran into some road blocks in the music industry, but his passion for music did not allow circumstances to overcome him. He had to work twice as hard in the music industry and finally found a safe haven through guest appearances on gold & platinum records. Through the transition of the music industry & its pitfalls; the artist known as “Kokane” went into a short isolation period to where it allowed him to have atonement for himself and take care of his beautiful wife & eight wonderful children, to redirect his steps towards “The Lord”. Presently, he has a album coming out on High Powered Ent. Called “Back 2 Tha Future”; guest appearances include: Jada Kiss, Cameo, George Clinton, Zapp, and many more! Jerry has also teamed up with Eric Ramos & started his own label “Bud E Boy Ent.” Coming soon: “The Autobiography Of Jerry B. Long” aka {Kokane}. Legendary!
