Cobra Immortal
Cobra Immortal grew up in Crystal City, Missouri a small town located 30 miles south from St. Louis. His life was rough it wasn't easy growing up, but through his struggle he used it to become the man we know today.
Cobra turned to rap music in the early 80 ' s. Listening to the sounds of LL Cool J , Fat Boys, Run DMC , and The Beastie Boys. Then when N.W.A came out he knew he wanted to become a rap artist and put his stamp on the industry. His influences are Tupac Shakur, Scarface, Ice Cube, Too Short, and Spice One.
His style of music is original and very unique . Cobra believes that he can make a major impact on the hip hop culture.
"In this industry you have to be creative and very different, from your competition . By doing so not only will you gain more fans and supporters but you will also leave your mark in this game".
In 2008-2009 Cobra made the decision to start his own music label. With this bold move he took control of his own product .
"No one else was going to do it for me. You have to be very versatile when you separate owner versus being an artist . The owner builds the label but the artist is the mouthpiece or voice for the label, to catch the attention of the music lovers, fans, and record label executives. It's a tough task to be the owner,CEO , and artist but I feel like I've done a great job at it".
Cobra draws his inspiration from his life experiences from them the music comes easy.
"The different challenges that I've faced over the years, my ups and downs and personal transgressions. Music is about sharing your stories with the world and inspiring others.
His recent project that will be released is his latest EP "Open Fire" is the first of the "Open Fire" series. Cobra released two previous albums "Untold Stories" and "Rise 2 Power"
We asked Cobra how he felt of the state of rap music was and this what he had to say.
"The state of rap music today has changed dramatically. It is totally different I believe that there is a lot of great talent out there to keep the legacy of our craft alive".
Cobra has several songs the he has done that he really loves "Y U Mad At Me"? It's a record that a lot of people can relate to. "When you are doing positive thing in your life, you have haters who will hate. Trust me, haters hate on me everyday but all they're doing is making me famous and powerful at the same time".
When he's not in the studio, he works out, hangs out with his homeboys and just relax and have fun. He takes time out for himself when he can due to his schedule.
I want to thank God, the almighty father. Without his love and support for me, none of this would be possible. My mother, Lillian Manning. My father Ben Manning. My sister, Melody Manning-Williams.

The New Music City/Johnstown Pennsylvania
There is many cities that have brought us great music talent in the United States, like New York , LA , Atlanta, Florida, and more. I come from a small town the the music industry has not looked at but has no choice now but to acknowledge it's talent. Johnstown Pennsylvania is becoming a member of the best music states and cities in America . The pure talent that is coming out of here is crazy! Rock and Roll, Rap, Hip-hop , Country, Blues, R&B, it's all there in a little town which has been overcome with drugs and violence like never before. With violence rising in the city it is hard to find an escape from it all, but there are some great artists that are using their gifts to make change in the city! I can honestly say that the music is changing the landscape of the city and is reaching the rest of the world in rapid succession. Rap music is becoming a big deal here when it once was disgraced and the as a fire starter, but the urban voice has been a collective force and pulled out of the fire. Artist like Ten - Twenty-Seven, Jay Lamont , Chris Deville, Reek Havik , John Sisco, and studios like Hott Traks run by Tim "Supreme" Odum and Rolow Entertainment have brought an opportunity where once barron now young men have an outlet other than guns and drugs. 56&Running and Royal Dutchie are businesses that are providing outlets for artists of the R&B, Hip-hop and Rap genre's in the town to showcase their talents. Toxic Artistry is a company that is also getting into the mix with local and state wide talent with their showcase set for next month. The 814-ever tour was launched on Friday with a great response at the Bottoms Up Club, featuring artists ranging from Rap and R&B with Johnstown ' s Kim King as the driving force in the R&B genre, when you need a female with range you call her. Johnstown has a rock group like no other Inside Out has been kicking ass and taking names for about 2 decades and show no signs of stopping anytime soon. With a huge fan base from Johnstown to even overseas they are a huge staple from the small town with a huge rock bang! Playing all over the state and US they have garnered a cult following that grows everday and the fans love them! This seems that this little town has become the newest music city this is only the beginning !
