After the Hit Men over at Organized Noize set Atlanta and the millions within its earshot on fire with the platinum-selling Outkast, gold-selling Goodie Mob, Witchdoctor and Kilo albums a Cool Breeze is finally coming from the southern region, sure to shake up any notion about who a proudly southern rapper can and can not move.
Cool Breeze's Organized Noize/Interscope Records debut, "East Point's Greatest Hit," aims at hip-hop fans from all coasts, and regions, and fires away with some of the most deftly delivered and diverse styles to hit since, well, Outkast, Goodie Mob, Witchdoctor.
Cool Breeze is actually a name he got from his older sister, (A rapper herself, Cool Breeze's sibling gave him the title/apt description of his demeanor when he was just a 13-year-old trying to make his way in his native Atlanta suburb East Point. "She said I looked like L.L. Cool J," explains Cool Breeze. "It didn't have anything to do with what I sounded like.") But to Freddie Calhoun his only rap name has come to mean "I'm like the weather. Ain't no telling what I might be doing next!"
