​KING​​KOKE

Hailing from the Midwestern city of Dayton, Ohio, King KoKE brings an abundance of aggression and energy with his triple threat approach to hip hop music and the entire industry. With innovative sound, elite lyricism, and the refined image of a sophisticated boss, King KoKE proves to be a total package musical entity that will soon make history in the music industry! King KoKE graced the world with his presence in the early 80's and was raised in one of the roughest neighborhoods of Dayton's west side. As an inner-city youth, KoKE certainly wasn't the average product of his environment; he was much more.



WHERE IT STARTED

Being from a place where drug trafficking is a daily occurrence and death of young black men before the age of 25 is almost a certainty, KoKE had to learn the code of the streets and the art of survival at a very young age. KoKE states, “After watching my best friend get murdered at the age of 9 and witnessing so many family funerals and neighborhood drive-by shootings, I knew I had to do something different to stay out the hood!” That “something” turned out to be the discovery of a gift that KoKE never knew he had; his gift of putting the feelings of the masses into song lyrics and musical arrangement. After realizing at a very young age that he could play piano by ear and freestyle poetry, KoKE decided to focus on his abilities rather than succumbing to the grip of drugs, guns, and gangs. King KoKE went on to enter into and win several talent shows, battles, and showcases and began building a fan base in the western and central Ohio areas, once being known as a ferocious battle rapper with a furious fast flow delivery that could rival Bone Thugs.

FAST FORWARD

King KoKE is now on the fast track to success, doing track production for the likes of: Shady Records artist Joe Budden, Maybach Music songstress Teedra Moses, Rising star comedian Felonious Munk (with over 15 million web views and previously 4 million weekly viewers/listeners on the WPIX network), commercial/movie production and many more! He's now going full force with his Beat Beast productions brand which is poised to deliver emotional, cinematic production for many genres of music and different entertainment forums. KoKE states, "I am great and I just pray that I can become greater as I make upward progression. Thanks to my almighty creator, I know its bound to happen. I guess you can say you didn't have to take the hood out of me to get me out of the hood; I made it out, in fact, the hood is a part of how I got here and I'll never forget it!!"
