KO.BANE

Born at the beginning of the modern crack-era to a young woman 17yrs old. Struck in my first moments of life by sickness that could have almost killed me after birth, I started my struggle. and still do to this day in order to survive in a world thats built to be against me and all those that look like me. At 16 I moved away from Ohio to Chicago with friends that i met while in D.C and stayed connected with. One of my closest comrads Gangsta TY"God bless the dead" took me under his wing and showed me the game at all levels. After he was murdered in his million dollar downtown condo, I remembered what he always said, "fuck these streets and fuck these niggas and bitches, you got a true God given talent, use it my nigga and make it for me and all the real niggas"when i turned 18 i came back home with a new outlook a new swagg and a new purpose. So I started being serious about music and no longer did it just for fun. I joined a label in 2003 started by the older street dudes from my nieghborhood and began to work, but in the process was troubled about the lyrical content and the fact that what I would hear on records was not what I would see in the street, along with problems with production and management. On top of all that whenever I heard people mention the label, they mentioned everyone but me unless i was around, so i began to look at myself more seriously as a artist and realized no real nigga claims union with something that doesnt claim him back. So I distanced myself and began creating a new lane for myself, by myself. until 2006 when I met Digga, Co-Founder and C.E.O of Certified Hustlas Ent who when nobody else did, gave me a chance to show my talent. shortly after, he introduced me to R.O.B, his star artist and Co-C.E.O after a few meetings and music sessions R.O.B helped to solidify my position in Certified Hustlas, but after the incarceration of many of the Certified Hustla members and busniess partners, including a railroad indictment of Digga, R.O.B and myself sat down and created a plan and a vision of where and how we had to keep it all together and moving foward. So after a few jail bailouts along with severe Fed risks taken, we grew a bond that transcended the music, into trust, loyalty and love and from that moment I understood that this was God moving me towards true success. So now in the mist of all those that said what i couldnt do and those that still fail to see and hear the passion in my music, clear and always straight foward with dept and substance. Im driven to show them all that their wrong and that I can compete on a national level and appeal not just to the streets but also to mainstream america. So continue to follow me whether its with hate or support and just, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!!!!!CERTIFIED
