Question by Just Me!: “Kokane” “Cocaine” rap song?

In doing an internet search I see that there is a rap artist named Kokane so I’m wondering if it was him in the song.

Heroin is a drug responsible for one out of every ten suicides, either by someone having an addiction or because of the drug being used indirectly. With the many statistics available it can be surprising that the drug is still one of the most common of all new addictions and people continue abusing and using at record rates.
