This one goes out to my girl Jules.
If you know David Cohn (stage name Serengeti), you know what I am talking about. This enigmatic story spinner is a genius by some estimations. We talked to him. We definitely support the crazy genius definition. Serengeti is an artist who certainly cares about his fans and produces copious amounts of amazing output. Think I am kidding?

24 releases since 2002. On many of these Serengeti spits his verses through alter-egos channeling their thoughts and delivering at a pace to match the character. These alter-egos have themes which are thoroughly explored in his music. This could be explained in depth – there is plenty of depth to it – but encourage you to explore on your own if interested.
On the 14th of September 2012, Serengeti delivered tracks from C.A.R., Family & Friends, and Dennehy among other albums. Active out of Chicago since 1993, he showed why he has been able to stay around for so long while never substituting quality for gimmicks. While most of the crowd were uneducated on the talent before them, we knew what it was about and think most everyone that left knowing also. Check out some of our video below:
