The Loophole: Curt Cohiba is turning an Umbrella Organization into a Monopoly

What do you call a group of young geniuses from all over the world that master their crafts, studies, and practices only to teach it to the masses at some of the world’s largest platforms through art?

A: L.O.T.T.O. Entertainment aka #TheUmbrellaSociety

 

I know, it sounds like something out of a Stan Lee comic book. Call it an artistic version of the Avengers. A team of scholars, political voices, actors, directors, artists, Disc Jockeys, poets, athletes, visionaries, elders, educators, musicians, activists, business owners, motivational speakers, doctors, lawyers and neighborhood heroes who have made a change for the better in their lives. All these men and women, young and old, from different creeds and ethnic groups have come together under one umbrella for one purpose, under God: TO EVOLVE AS A SOCIETY

 

Curt Cohiba, founder of L.O.T.T.O. ENT, (Learn Only To Teach Others) isn’t interested in what he can do for himself. He isn’t interested in selling out his organization for profit either. He has openly admitted that he is nobody’s boss or don. He is simply trying to shed light on a group of talented people he believes in through a platform he has been building since he was a sophomore in college.

 

“The best thing about #TheUmbrellaSociety is that I’m not even close to being the coolest person in it. Sh*t, I’m not even the smartest person in it”. Cohiba laughed and then exclaimed, “To be honest, I’m not even the coolest person in my band! The society works because I believe in the people who surround me. I work with people who I believe in and likewise they believe in my agenda and me. The rest comes to us naturally.”

 

Curt Cohiba is headlining at the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville on December 16th, just 2 months after the Chicago Cubs’ won their first WORLD SERIES championship since 1908. This performance comes just 3 months after headlining at the legendary House of Blues, Chicago where he will be a special guest performing a song with the star studded jam band SNEEZY this Saturday.

Curt Cohiba & Jackpot The Umbrella Band will be live @ The Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville on December 16th! Doors Open @ 8pm.

 

Curt is a youth counselor, visual director, philanthropist, executive producer, founder, and coach. He now even has added music producer in his latest song “Finagle” produced by himself and engineered by DJ Phil.

 

L.O.T.T.O. ENT is a unique team with music at the core. One could imagine what’s in store for this group of talented vigilantes. When asked who all is apart of this elite society, Cohiba claims, “we haven’t even introduced half of the organization to the public yet. People are still trying to figure out my angle and get use to me.” He is slowly unveiling what he wants the public to know one day at a time.

Curt Cohiba & Jackpot the Umbrella Band headlined at the House of Blues last Thursday night and killed the performance. Cohiba and the Umbrella Band were scheduled to open earlier this month, but the box office and Chicago’s underground hip hop fans said otherwise. According to the numbers, Curt Cohiba’s talent was beyond being an opening act- he was meant to headline.
This up and coming rap artist/counselor is making some serious waves throughout the Windy City.
Those who have heard of him or his music knows that when it comes to his live performances, he aims to entertain. The band consists of young mental, medical, and musical professionals. Instruments range from the electric guitar to the saxophone.

The Pocket Shirt Player performed at The Cubby Bear less then a month ago with the band Sneezy! Curt Cohiba music is different. His style is different. Dressed in suspenders and Gucci glasses, his witty lyrics and memorable hooks, together build catchy and inspirational songs…so much so you might forget this guy’s a rapper.
No team of writers for this artist.
His songs are original and ultimately dope. Reminding you of the 90s  in one moment and remembering Eric Garner the next- Cohiba takes you with him on a journey through his mind… eventually finding the Loophole.
Get under the umbrella or get caught in the rain.
