I still feel that Strange is making no attempt whatsoever to appeal to the east coast, and last i check, thats where New York is located which is pretty much where hip hop was born and currently resides. Why keep branching out to the west where he is actually decently popular. The only thing thats really bringing Strange over here is the Rock the bells tour as of late.
Cognito signed to strange music...

I think people will be shocked when Cognito's album drops. The material he is working on right now is on another level. There is a reason Cognito has got the attention of some huge people over the years. First signed with Mike Mosley/ Steady Mobbin, the Master P, now Strange Music. The best he has to offer hasn't been exposed properly. It will be with Strange come the beginning of 2010. He has been touring the world the past few years and has really got a name for doing a great live show. Strange will do nothing but MAKE HIS SHOW BIGGER. I really believe its a great move for both parties.
Also, I believe people really don't understand how much Kutt and Krizz are selling. Krizz last record is right around 30,000. THATS CRAZY NUMBERS INDEPENDENTLY NOW DAYS! CRAZY! So its not like these other artists aren't doing there part. Every label has that front runner, which is Tech for Strange. That doesn't mean these other artists aren't making moves.
Cognito is one the hottest and fastest rising rap superstars in the USA. This Bay Area native has been featured on over 15 albums and soundtracks and now has completed his highly anticipated debut album with super producers Mike Mosley, Femi Ojetunde, Rick Rock, Bosko, and Darien D-Buck Smith, the producers behind such artists as Tupac, TQ, E-40, Carl Thomas, Master P and many more.
While Cognito has toured and performed with the likes of Nate Dogg, Andre Nickatina, Equipto, Mike Marshal (Million Dollar Dream),Ludacris, The Game, 3LW, E-40, Jagged Edge, B-Legit, Jin and others, he was relatively unknown when he was discovered by Darien D-Buck Smith an executive of Steady Mobbin Productions. After hearing him rap, D-Buck took Cognito to Bay Area legend Mike Mosley to let him hear this awesome talent. Mike Mosley signed Cognito on the spot to Steady Mobbin. At the time Mike Mosley was working with his other artist TQ who would go on to create a multi platinum classic album "They never saw me comin". Realizing Cognito's massive talent, Steady Mobbin hit the streets and hoods to get a buzz going on this future superstar. Not only does Cognito have a huge following and a strong fan base in the Bay Area, but he also has developed quite a following in London and in Europe as well. Now that Cognito has worked his way thru the industry, Steady Mobbin is ready to set Cognito lose on the world.. "That's My Mic" is in stores now and also available soon at www.milliondollardream.com and www.cognitomusic.com

I guess I don't see what Strange is doing wrong? They sign Lynch( big move), they already have the biggest indy artist in the world. They have a few established artists that sell a LOT more than people think and they have and they have HUGE fan bases, and now they sign an artist in Cognito that has been in meetings with some of the biggest labels in the world because they have interest in him. He was with a legend in Master P who obviously saw something in him, and now Strange MUST SEE THAT HE HAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE HUGE once the develope him, there is a reason Strange is as big as they are, they know how to do it right. I wouldn't count them out that fast.
