“The message I’m sending with my music is love and unity,” Johnny Cocoa claimed during our interview.
“Honestly, you don’t look the same without that makeup baby / I can’t do it, told you I’m not really into faking baby,” the artist also proclaimed in his recent “Free Bird” song and music video release.
Love & Unity
“On the aspect of love, loving yourself and knowing thyself, knowing yourself, getting in tune with yourself, and learning how to shut out external opinions about oneself,” the artist continued on his main musical message. “On the aspect of unity, the world could use more of it.”
“Of course, there’s a lot of chaos and weakness in the world. But there’s always going to be that love factor in the world that we live in, no matter what era that we land in or are born into, or came from,” the “Free Bird” author elevated. “Unity is always needed, but it’s always present as well. Just got to keep on building and getting back to a space where everybody is in touch with unity.”
Busy Schedule
The past season has been hectic for Johnny Cocoa. Besides releasing a new music video, he is also now working on the “I Am Who I Am” EP. “I feel like I touched every emotion possible with this project,” Johnny told me. “[Working on the record] felt very hard from my core, roots, and soul. I spent a lot of time on each song and put a lot into each song, every word, as usual.”
Moreover, Johnny recently got a chance to meet with Drake and Ye. “My song “On God” was buzzing, and I got invited to one of Drake’s after-parties,” Johnny Cocoa explained. “He came in, heard it, and decided to run it back about four or five times at the DJ booth. So that was a major stamp in love.”
Johnny & Ye
“Ye,” Johnny continued. “A very tricky and interesting story. We actually met at a restaurant but ended up at a studio. We ended up taking over the studios, and I got to play some of my music. He really liked it, told me some great things about it, gave me some good advice to remain true to myself and keep doing what I’m doing.”
Johnny Cocoa also told me that he and the “Yeezy” brand creator have “some slight work in the works.” Seems like we’re soon to expect the result of “a beautiful moment,” which “came out of meeting Ye one night in the restaurant and then in the studio.
When I asked Johnny Cocoa about his opinion regarding Ye’s recent various controversial statements, alleged opinions, and actions, Johnny told me that “His comments were interesting. Of course, there’s truth in everything, but [Ye] is always going to be an amazing artist, producer, and icon to me,” Johnny also told me when I wondered what he thinks about the “Gold Digger” author’s recent various controversial statements. “I rock with Ye the long way.”
