Troy 'Co$$' Johnson has been bubbling on the LA scene with his tales of love lost and gained and hard street rhymes all told with heartfelt integrity. Named as LA’s most underrated rapper by the LA Times, Co$$ is an artist who uses vivid imagery and sharp rhymes in his delivery to paint a clear picture of his content.
Co$$ has been featured on many releases, most notably on Exile’s debut album “Dirty Science”, Fashawn’s “Boy Meets World” and on the self-titled Johnson & Johnson (Blu & Mainframe) release.
His debut 12 inch with Fonetik Simbol came out on Tres in 2009 and was well received worldwide. Co$$ will no doubt make some huge waves with this debut album bursting with creativity, unique flow and original, introspective content. The production is remarkably varied, with synth laden melodies
merged with dusty loops throughout in a melting pot that includes beats from Exile. The perfect balance has been made with songs that make you
screw your face up (see ‘Da Meanest’ Prod. by Exile), and thought provoking, captivating soundscapes (see ‘Scriptures’ prod. by The Soul Academy). With a beautifully polished intro, ‘Risen’ brings forth that ‘shiver down your spine’ music. In typical Tres fashion, ‘Spaceman’ delivers a laid back west coast sound laced with fly pianos and a hook reminiscent of the classic Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg bounce. Tracks such as ‘In The Wind’ give the listener that instant head nod essence. Co$$’s label mate Shawn Jackson adds one of three features to the song with his usual experience and prowess. |
