Cooley High is from Southern, MS
But, doesn't consider himself an MC nor a Lyricist, he's just a rapper telling his side of the story, but occasionally he does drop in a few punch-lines here and there just to let his audience know that he does this music thing for real!
MADE FOR THIS is his latest release.
What really inspired him to compile this tape is the obstacles an Indie Artist goes through in the music business just to try to get their foot in the door. If you don't have thick skin and a whole lot of ambition it will be easy to give up on yourself so that's why he says that he was MADE FOR THIS.
He writes all of his music. He's collaborated with the Black Prince of the South "MYSTIKAL," who is featured on a song titled "Big Ol'." It came out really dope, he thinks it's a hit record. He also collaborated with a great R&B Artist by the name of Dani Douglass who did the hook on a song he has called "It'll Never Be The Same," and another great soulful R&B artist by the name of Breana Marin who laced the hook on a song he has called "Exhale," both which are really dope records.
Some of the best advice somebody ever gave him came from one of his mentors. He told him a long time ago to never let his right hand know what his left hand is doing, of course he had to figure out what that meant but all he can say is that he found out what it meant the hard way.
He has written so many songs that picking just one as his favorite is hard to do. But, one of his favorites is his song "Give Me Love," because it expressed the way that he was feeling about a certain situation that he was going through at that moment in time and plus he "killed" it as far as his delivery and wordplay. Another song he likes is of course "Big Ol' featuring Mystikal," it's a super dope song plus it's a little different from everything else that's going on right now. "Aint Going Back Broke" is stupid dope, "D.A.D" is dedicated to his kids just to let them know that their daddy does a lot of things just to make sure that they are comfortable.
PERFORMANCES
He has performed at quite a few concerts since he started his music career. The places he has been start from Houston, then to Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Wisconsin etc. He doesn't keep up with them, he just keeps up with the people that he meets because with each show that he does he's always leaves somebody with a memorable moment.His most memorable stage performance was one he did in Tuscaloosa, AL. There was an older lady in the crowd, she had to have been feeling really good because she jumped on stage with him and started to back her booty up on him. Well, with him being him, and he loving to have fun he let her dance on him until she started to pull her pants down lol. He had to stop the music and stop her from going too far!
If he could perform with any popular Artist he would want to be on the same show as Kanye West because his crowds are full of people who like to come out, be entertained, have fun and just let loose. The energy is some kind of ridiculous. It's crazy and that's where he would fit right in!
He says what makes him stand out or different from other Artists is that he is a people person. He tries to give all of his followers feedback. He doesn't think he is better than the next but his music speaks for itself. He is Cooley High and that's all that he can be. His flow is not the same as any other artist, his rap style is his own. He talks a little country, he laughs at dumb stuff and he loves his haters lol. The thing about him is that he loves a small venue just as much as he does a big venue. He doesn't discriminate.
He has a bright future. He has bigger dreams that's for sure but he's just taking it one day at a time and reading all these contracts thoroughly. He's not going to let the cat out of the bag just yet but just to give ya'll a heads up keep your eyes and ears on Cooley High for a minute and watch him work.
Right now he and his team are working on getting these tour dates set up along with getting a new product on the market. But be on the look out for Cooley High and make sure that you pack these venues out whenever he comes to your neck of the woods. Also make sure that ya'll get a copy of his latest tape "MADE FOR THIS."
