The son of a single parent mother, Terrance Barnes, a.k.a. "Cold Blooded", has been preparing for his shot at being in the spotlight since 1986. Born and raised in New Orleans, the 13 year rap veteran never faced a beef he could not handle, or an MC he could not dismantle. Unlike many who have left the South for seemingly greener pastures, he had no intention of departing New Orleans. "I got props where ever I rapped, from house parties, sessions to block parties" says Cold Blooded. Going by the name of Cold Tee while in Junior High School at Gregory, he turned Cold Blooded in High School at John McDonogh. "I've gotten better over the years, my name was ringing" says Cold Blooded. Still no doors were opening to him. "I wanted to give up, but I kept the faith, kept writing and put it in the Lords hands." It was not until 1998 that Cold Blooded signed with producers Lil J and Tut of ONE SHOT RECORDS. "The longer I waited, the colder my lyrics got" says Cold Blooded. With the release of his Album "How Cold Am I", the artist displayed his ability to rip the tracks up, verbally abusing cuts with words that sliced like the last of the Mahicans. The Album contains appearances from B-Legit, Richie Rich, Mac Shawn, Crazy, Gadiva and L.O.G. Rich guitar samples on the relaxed "Hoe Fo Me" allow smooth flowing Cold Blooded to do what he does best. The catchy loop on "Lyrically Speaking" and the thick bass line on "Tight Rope" are just a few reasons why this Album is so Cold. The verses are seriously infectious. On tracks like "How Cold Am I" kicks up verbal storms over earth quaking beats. "I think everybody rapping and singing on the album is very talented, and I am loving them for it". "The first Album is only a sample of How Cold I A
