Cocoa Brovaz is a Brooklyn based hip hop group consisting of members Tek & Steele. Originally known as Smif-N-Wessun, they ran into legal issues with Smith & Wesson Firearms after the release of their first album Dah Shinin'. To avoid the lawsuit, they decided to change their name to the Cocoa Brovaz in 1996. In early 1998, they dropped their second album The Rude Awakening under this name.

They chose Cocoa Brovaz and released their second album, Rude Awakening (possibly a reference to their legal troubles), under that moniker in the spring of 1998. All things considered, the legal mishap was little more than a speed bump for the duo; the end result is every bit as good as their first effort, if not better.

The Rude Awakening is the second album from rappers Tek and Steele, their first under the name Cocoa Brovaz. The duo was forced to drop their original name, Smif-N-Wessun, after they were sued by the Smith & Wesson firearms company. The lead single from the album was "Black Trump", which features Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan
