ONErpm announced on Monday the signing of Florida rapper Cochise, "as he embarks on his journey as an independent artist, one fully in control of his future."
"As both a businessman and entrepreneur, Cochise realized the unique value of partnering with ONErpm to tap into his full growth potential," a statement reads. "Understanding that no two artists are the same, ONErpm is dedicated to empowering artists like Cochise with a wide range of customizable services designed to support creative freedom and artistic ownership."
"I always moved like an independent artist,” states Cochise, “so now, finally being fully in control with the support of ONErpm is a dream come true. Now it’s time to make some new history."
"The first single released by Cochise and ONErpm was 'I LIE,' which takes the punchy, off-kilter energy of the Midwest’s street rap scene and flips it with his signature Southern bounce and animated delivery. Channeling the playful chaos that made hits like 'Hatchback' and 'Tell Em' go viral, he turns Detroit’s gritty sound into a chant-ready, party-friendly banger," the statement continues. "To date, the track has done nearly 3 million streams across all platforms. He followed that up with 'BRACES,' which has already gone viral due to organic videos created on socials by the likes of Coi Leray, Lola Young, and more. With each release, Cochise continues to expand his sonic universe—and this is his latest unexpected but undeniable flex."
"Our level of commitment to artist success is matched with the artist's commitment to the art,” says Tony Tuesday, A&R at ONErpm. “When those two things are aligned, there’s no amount of history we can’t make. I’m excited for this signing and can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
