Cougnut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cougnut was an African American rap artist from Hunters Point, San Francisco, California. Cougnut's immense contributions to Bay Area hip hop include his recordings, which have appeared on countless compilation albums, the moral support he gave to his fellow Bay Area hip hop recording artists, and his historical significance in being the first Bay Area artist to achieve a hit with his song "I'm Rolling," which inspired generations of Bay Area artists and hip hop label entrepreneurs. Cougnut and his seminal crew yielded San Francisco's first major underground street hit in the late 1980's called "Scandalous." This Hunter's Point native released other hit songs such as: "Don't Get It Twisted", and "Last Breath" with I.M.P. Cougnut's career with the Ill Mannered Players tragically ended as the result of car accident in Daly City, California.
