“Remember The Name,” The Rhyming Abomination, The Everliving, “Lyric’s & C.A.R.N.A.G.E.,” Earth’s Advocate, Mr. Distorted-Deranged. These are just a few names and phrases that lead us to one man, Mumm-Ra a.k.a. “Cobra Commander”. Ra was born and raised in the North-Side of Chicago, where he began to develop his gift of rhyming. At an early age he began to seek the truth behind the lies. Seeing more than what the world was showing, he started to question everything; from the government, to religion, to even the loyalty of those around him. This thirst for knowledge later evolved his style to what it is now. In ‘89, Ra moved to Allentown, PA and at the age of 14 joined an underground Hip Hop organization called “The Steel Syndicate”. For Ra, the Syndicate was considered a training grounds for artist growth. Through the Syndicate, he learned the business aspects of the music industry, as well as how to develop his vocabulary and stage performance. He later took the teachings of the Syndicate and in ‘94 created the organization “Dead Eye Conflict” and its hip-hop group, “3rd Earth” with fellow artist Prophet, Session9, and their producer Big City. However, thru the trials and tribulations of the many groups within Dead Eye (Demons Den, Divided Minds, Lost souls, etc.), Ra chose to go solo and remain underground. This decision had him create new branches within Dead Eye such as A.S.O.E. (Ancient Spirits Of Evil), Bagowear, The Combaticons with fellow artist Colossal Unknown, and of course The Rise of Cobra . Now that The Commander’s mind is focused, and with his lovely Queen and their new daughter, Isis, by his side, Mr. Distorted-Deranged is ready to attack the industry and take over. Prepare the Invasion, Cobra is Coming.............
