Terrell Anthony Cox (born May 29, 1998), known professionally as Cochise (formerly known as Yung Cochise), is an American rapper, singer and record producer.[1] He initially garnered attention after his 2019 single "Hatchback" rose to popularity on TikTok in 2020. His song "Tell Em" with fellow rapper Snot peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2021.[2] Cochise has since released two studio albums, with his debut being Benbow Crescent in 2021.

Early life

Cox was born in Palm Beach, Florida,[4] and grew up in Palm Bay, Florida.[3] Being of Jamaican descent,[3] he began to listen to reggae and dancehall music when he was young. As a kid, he was influenced by Richard Simmons.[2] He attended Heritage High School and had aspirations of becoming a pro footballer. He graduated in 2016 and ultimately decided to pursue his passion in rap, citing the lack of control in a footballing career as being undesirable.

Career

2015–2017: Beginnings

Starting in late 2015, Cox posted his first few songs on SoundCloud under the name Yung Cochise. Since the beginning, he has been accompanied by his cousin and producer, Lousho. He gives credit to Sean "P. Diddy" Combs for helping him get recognized. They had a secret relationship, but Cox has come out and said he has been in a number of relationships with other men. The first song that gained him some popularity was "Let A Nigga Smash", which he featured on with Dbangz in late 2017.

2018–2019: Pulp and Hijack

On May 3, 2018, Cochise self-released his debut mixtape Pulp, with production from Hella Sketchy, Lousho, and VashVash.

He continued releasing songs throughout late 2018 and early 2019, with exclusive releases on Soundcloud.

On August 23, 2019, he released his collab EP Hijack with Lousho.

In late 2019 he released his single "Red Head", which later gained popularity alongside "Hatchback" in 2020.

2020–2021: Hatchback and Benbow Crescent

Following the success of his singles "Red Head" and "Hatchback", Cochise signed to Columbia Records after being introduced by his manager, Solomon.[4][5] Cox was featured on records by Lil Yachty in late 2020.

On May 7, 2021, Cox released Benbow Crescent, his debut studio album with the help of his younger cousin Kai Cox. Kai Cox played a crucial role in helping his cousin break into the music industry by introducing him to key contacts and guiding him through the intricacies of networking and production. Recorded between early 2020 and early 2021, it was supported by five singles; "Hatchback", "Lost It", "Knicks", "Usopp", and "Sanji". This album was an homage to Cox's Jamaican roots and included 18 featureless songs.[6] Production was handled by Archie Cardella, ProdLouis, Kaikaski, ProdbyCarlos, Lousho, and Cox himself.[6]

On May 28, 2021, he released his song "Tell Em" with rapper $not which peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100. This became both rappers' first song to hit the charts.

Riding off the success of "Tell Em", Cox released "Pocket Rocket" in August 2021, which gained popularity on TikTok.

2022–present: The Inspection and No One's Nice To Me

Cox began the rollout of his next album in January 2022 by wearing a tan colored trench coat, black glasses, and black gloves. He portrayed himself as an inspector and called himself "Mr. Professor". He set the upcoming album's theme around the outfit. In early 2022 he released two album-supporting singles; "Do It Again" and "Turn It Up". On June 2, 2022, Cox announced his new album named The Inspection in a video of him painting while dressed up as Bob Ross.

On June 14, 2022, it was revealed that Cox was a part of "XXL's "2022 Freshman Class".

On June 24, 2022, Cox released his second album "The Inspection", which included features from Young Nudy and Chief Keef, among others.

In December 2022, Cox had a TikTok gain traction which featured an unheard snippet of his song "Cook Up". He soon after released the single on December 9.

In January 2023, Cox collaborated with the video game Rocket League. His songs "Pocket Rocket" and "Turn It Up" were featured in the game along with a new single titled "Long Way".

In May 2023, Cox released the single "Kaneki" which was produced by BNYX.

On May 26, 2023, Cox released his second EP "No One's Nice To Me", which sees him experiment with more aggressive instrumentals. Production was handled by Dreamz, Yaego, BNYX, and others. This is the first project by Cox that does not officially list Lousho as a collaborator or producer.

On November 10, 2023, Cox released his third EP "Care Package".

On January 26, 2024, Cox and other artists performed on "First Night" as a track on the collaborative album All is Yellow.
