Pomona, California emcee/singer Kokane has announced that he will now be known by his government name of Jerry B. Long. The onetime Ruthless Records artist and collaborator with Above The Law and Dr. Dre is using this turning point with his upcoming album, The Legend Continues. The emcee known for singing much of the Pariliament Funkadelic interpolations on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic released several past projects under the monker of Mr. Kane.
Jerry B. Long released Gimme All Mine last May on Bud E Boy Records. The emcee is said to be using the same imprint for The Legend Continues. No release date has been announced.
Previously, Heltah Skeltah’s Ruck changed his stage name to his government, going by Sean Price since the early ’00s, as well as Will Smith, who was known as The Fresh Prince throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

JERRY BEEE LONG IS A COOL FUCKING NAME
What the hell? Shit, I wish I had that name LOL
Pointless to change your names now, i don’t think you still have any fans remaining out there anymore
Sorry, Koke, but nobody really cares. And I’m 29, so I know that the youngsters ain’t looking for you. No hate. As Prince once said, “there comes a time in every mans life….”
I’m 33 and most of these youngsters dont know shit anyway. So what is your point?
There comes a point in mans life where he shouldn’t comment on articles.
If the man wants to change his name so be it. No big deal here.
why not

He should have used that name the whole time. This is why he’s not successful. Future rappers, learn from this.
