Hip Hop from Eric Cohen

Hailing from Missouri, Eric Cohen is a hip hop artist who takes influences from the likes of Lecrae, Toby Mac, We Are Messengers, Tupac, Mac Miller and Andy Mineo to make his own brand of rap music. Looking to his own lived experiences for inspiration, his writing offers poignant reflections to deliver a message of hope for anyone who hears his music.

Having had a turbulent life from his chaotic childhood through to poverty and addiction, he’s experienced darkness more than most. His story is one of recovery and redemption, after a renewed sense of faith and getting clean, he’s an artist with an inspiring story and celebrates his journey by sharing his path through his music.

After pulling himself from the depths of despair, he expressed his emotions in his lyricism, delivering the first taste of his sound in July last year when he released his debut single “Back to basics”. Continuing to share his vision with a string of singles, a full-length record with Paint A Picture and an EP titled Unity Across the Pond* he now brings us one of his recent tracks with “False Realities”.

Written to expose what the artist sees as false realities that sometimes become widely believed, with his new single, Eric Cohen drops a potent lyrical perspective. Led by his rhythm-perfect flow, backed by an old school beat and piquant instrumental arrangement, “False Realities” was record mixed and mastered by Ryan Upton and Uptown Productions and offers a superb run through of the artist’s songwriting talent and vocal panache.
