Kobra Abysmal Biography <br /> <br />By: Miles "M.i." Aaron <br /> <br />Smashing the entertainment industry in the face with the force of a Bay Area <br />earthquake, Vallejo native Kobra Abysmal has arrived on the scene and is <br />destroying anything standing in his path of industry wide domination. <br /> <br />Born at Alameda hospital but spending all of his life in Vallejo, a section <br />of the Bay Area, Kobra grew up surrounded by hustlers, classic music and a <br />budding Bay Area Hip Hop scene. Early musical influences came from artists Ice <br />Cube & N.W.A.,Mac Dre,The Click, Too Short, L.L. Cool J, 2Pac, Awol Camp,Bad <br />Influenz and The Young D Boyz. At the age of 12 Kobra recalls recording his <br />first freestyles over instrumentals onto cassette singles. At first he <br />didn't take these recordings too seriously but as he continued to perfect <br />his flow and lyrics he began gaining attention around the Bay Area music <br />scene. By the young age of 18 he had gained enough attention to be invited <br />to record with the legendary Bay Area Producer Johnny Z at his studio. While <br />recording at the studio Kobra was surrounded by Bay Area superstars like Mac <br />Dre, B-Legit, N2Deep, Spice 1 and others. <br /> <br />Kobra would attempt to spend as much time as he could at the studio when he <br />wasn't in the streets hustling and was tapped to appear on the Johnny Z and <br />Young Dru Presented "707 Compilation." This project would stand as Kobra's <br />first released appearance and led to him connecting with other Bay Area <br />producers like Crest Side Vallejo based Steve Dee. Kobra's ever growing <br />buzz would lead other artists to reach out to him for features and have him <br />appearing on a number of classic projects. These projects included Young <br />Dru's "Flame Spitter" which Kobra co-produced two tracks on, The Rompilation <br />3 and The 707 comp Volume 2. With his new connections and slowly but surely <br />building buzz, Kobra set out to work on his solo album "Just What The Game <br />Needed." The buzz around Vallejo for the album was epic but unfortunately <br />before he could release the project Kobra was arrested for Possession of <br />Marijuana For Sales and was sentenced to a year in Solano County as well as <br />a six month drug program. This was just the wake up call Kobra needed as he <br />realized running the streets would ultimately be his downfall and he needed <br />to set his full focus on creating music. <br /> <br />To date Kobra's music resume reads like that of a artist who has been in <br />music for twice as long as he has, boasting features in various major Hip <br />Hop magazines, appearances on BET's American Gangster, and a featured guest <br />on Xplosive's Video Show Hour. Kobra has also became a highly sought after <br />artist for shows in The Bay Area having destroyed stages with Lee Majors, <br />Young Dru, The Stooie Bros., Jacka, Mac&AK, Matt Blaque, Turf Talk, A-Wax, <br />JayTee, Sean T, Sandman, Indecent & Krypto, and many more.
