I really appreciate everything bro. You take what free time you have and come on here and talk with us and help us understand you and you as an artist are . You've have been through so much,all these years providing for your children and giving them a good life. Finally now you are with strange,. which is gonna take you to the top homie. Your a good father, rappper and a man in my book. keep doing what you do.

Like I said I TRULY APPRECIATE EVERYONES OPINIONS, any artist in the game that CAN'T DEAL WITH NEGATIVE PRESS shouldn't be in this game to begin with. Thats part of it plain and simple....
When I first started my career I was FLOODED with negative situations. I grew up in a area that had NO WHITE RAPPERS TO BEGIN WITH, that had its own style and also an area that DIDN'T really support NEW AND DIFFERENT SHIT. I have had to GRIND EVERY DAY OF MY CAREER THE LAST 10 YEARS TO BE ABLE TO GET WHERE I AM AT. Quick run down:
* 1998 dropped 1st album(group album) with Mac Dre's 1st label in Vallejo CA.
* 2001 signed with one of the biggest indie labels at the time "Steady Mobbin Productions/ Mike Mosley", Steady Mobbin went platinum with the R&B singer "TQ" and even though I never dropped with them my career really started at that time. Huge connections, dropped a lot of verses and did A SHIT LOAD OF SHOWS.
* 2005- 2008 was on tour with "Andre Nickatina" and started doing about 80-100 shows a year...THAT REALLY GOT MY SHOW REPUTATION UP big time.
* 2006 dropped 2 albums AND signed a 1 album deal with the Legendary MASTER P and No Limit/ Guttar Music. Dropped the solo album "RECOGNITION" with 2 big songs that started getting my name out there on an UNDERGROUND LEVEL. "Something Wrong" feat. Cee Lo from Goodie Mob & B Legit went over big in Nor Cal. Then dropped the group album under Mac Dre/ Thizz Entertainment called "Cognito & The Knuckleheadz...Knucklehead Theatre"....
* 2006 really started working with Violet Brown and she REALLY IS THE MAIN SUPPORTER I HAVE HAD OVER THE YEARS. After my deal with Master P was over in 2008 Violet Brown took full control of my career and started shopping me to labels. Up until this time I was really only cruising on the UNDERGROUND level. Y'all gotta remember when it comes to independent records ITS a hard thing to blow shit up BUT you make more money with sales and have full control of touring ect....
* 2009 Violet Brown had about 3 or 4 labels(major's & indie) that were interested in my new work BUT once I got that call from Travis early 2009 it wasn't even a question...it was "AUTOMATIC"...LOL. Strange flew me & Vilet out to K.C. and we spent 2 days out there meeting with Trav/ tech. The rest is history...
Strange didnt just sign me off top....they evaluate BOTH sides of the situation. This is bizz and weighing out all options is important. I didnt have respect for ANY OTHER LABEL MAJOR OR INDIE LIKE I DID & STILL DO FOR STRANGE. We have a lot in store for the up-coming year and I am excited to make it happen, get out there and meet as many of y'all as possible and really make an impact in the game.
Shots out to EVERYONE I might of met on the KOD Tour while I was part of the meet & greets and I look forward to meeting everyone else this year!!!
Thanks again and if anyone has reasonable questions feel free to hit ya boy up...on a side note, YES I HAVE HEARD DINNER AND A MOVIE AND THAT MUTHA FUCKA IS SO BANGING I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET MY COPY NEXT MONTH!!!! ITS AMAZING!!! Lynch and I did a track called "Pill Poppin Music" for my album so y'all be ready for that one. SHITS KNOCKING....
I have an interview for a radio station in Maine tonight and I will post info soon, go online and check it out tonight if ya can...call in for questions as well.

* 2001 signed with one of the biggest indie labels at the time "Steady Mobbin Productions/ Mike Mosley", Steady Mobbin went platinum with the R&B singer "TQ" and even though I never dropped with them my career really started at that time. Huge connections, dropped a lot of verses and did A SHIT LOAD OF SHOWS.
* 2005- 2008 was on tour with "Andre Nickatina" and started doing about 80-100 shows a year...THAT REALLY GOT MY SHOW REPUTATION UP big time.
* 2006 dropped 2 albums AND signed a 1 album deal with the Legendary MASTER P and No Limit/ Guttar Music. Dropped the solo album "RECOGNITION" with 2 big songs that started getting my name out there on an UNDERGROUND LEVEL. "Something Wrong" feat. Cee Lo from Goodie Mob & B Legit went over big in Nor Cal. Then dropped the group album under Mac Dre/ Thizz Entertainment called "Cognito & The Knuckleheadz...Knucklehead Theatre"....
* 2006 really started working with Violet Brown and she REALLY IS THE MAIN SUPPORTER I HAVE HAD OVER THE YEARS. After my deal with Master P was over in 2008 Violet Brown took full control of my career and started shopping me to labels. Up until this time I was really only cruising on the UNDERGROUND level. Y'all gotta remember when it comes to independent records ITS a hard thing to blow shit up BUT you make more money with sales and have full control of touring ect....
* 2009 Violet Brown had about 3 or 4 labels(major's & indie) that were interested in my new work BUT once I got that call from Travis early 2009 it wasn't even a question...it was "AUTOMATIC"...LOL. Strange flew me & Vilet out to K.C. and we spent 2 days out there meeting with Trav/ tech. The rest is history...
Strange didnt just sign me off top....they evaluate BOTH sides of the situation. This is bizz and weighing out all options is important. I didnt have respect for ANY OTHER LABEL MAJOR OR INDIE LIKE I DID & STILL DO FOR STRANGE. We have a lot in store for the up-coming year and I am excited to make it happen, get out there and meet as many of y'all as possible and really make an impact in the game.
Shots out to EVERYONE I might of met on the KOD Tour while I was part of the meet & greets and I look forward to meeting everyone else this year!!!
Thanks again and if anyone has reasonable questions feel free to hit ya boy up...on a side note, YES I HAVE HEARD DINNER AND A MOVIE AND THAT MUTHA FUCKA IS SO BANGING I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET MY COPY NEXT MONTH!!!! ITS AMAZING!!! Lynch and I did a track called "Pill Poppin Music" for my album so y'all be ready for that one. SHITS KNOCKING....

Siikez said:

T-MAS said:

Keep doing what u do and Keep repping the norcal

Cognito said:

Like I said I TRULY APPRECIATE EVERYONES OPINIONS, any artist in the game that CAN'T DEAL WITH NEGATIVE PRESS shouldn't be in this game to begin with. Thats part of it plain and simple....
When I first started my career I was FLOODED with negative situations. I grew up in a area that had NO WHITE RAPPERS TO BEGIN WITH, that had its own style and also an area that DIDN'T really support NEW AND DIFFERENT SHIT. I have had to GRIND EVERY DAY OF MY CAREER THE LAST 10 YEARS TO BE ABLE TO GET WHERE I AM AT. Quick run down:
* 1998 dropped 1st album(group album) with Mac Dre's 1st label in Vallejo CA.
* 2001 signed with one of the biggest indie labels at the time "Steady Mobbin Productions/ Mike Mosley", Steady Mobbin went platinum with the R&B singer "TQ" and even though I never dropped with them my career really started at that time. Huge connections, dropped a lot of verses and did A SHIT LOAD OF SHOWS.

I was playing around with the whole burning cross shit dude, i was just takin the piss outta the 'Strange Music are devil worshippers' craze lol. But i actually like the artwork and like Cole said, that shit would look sikk on a tee. Haven't heard much of you yet dude, but im gonna get automatic anyway haha. If your good enough to be on Strange, im willing to risk my money haha.

Cognito said:

There were a lot of different options that were discussed for the album artwork. "Automatic" is a statement, it ain't referring to anything subliminal and there ain't no hidden messages. LOL...Also I believe someone on this thread asked if I was posting under a different name....I don't do that so any posts I have time to put up will come from COGNITO...no one else. Siikez is right about the Phoenix....thats what the bird is. To answer a few of the questions, "Ice Cold" this album will fit in with Strange. On that note Im not saying it will copy or SOUND all the way like something you have heard on the label BUT I have no worries about it fitting in. Im from the WEST COAST, so my style might be a lil different than a mid-west artist. Its NOT on a burning cross..lol. I dont understand that one. Like Gofer said there really isn't any boundaries. Liquid 9 is the best in the bizz, the album cover is FAR from generic. I APPRECIATE the feedback from EVERYONE......good and bad. Hope that answers a FEW of the questions.
