Where did the name Kosha Dillz come from?
Basically from being Jewish and being awesome and looking at a jar and it being somewhat sexual and somewhat into food and a combination of hustling as well. I remember being in a super market and it seeing "kosher Dill" and then it became "KD flow," and then it became "Kosha Dillz".
What makes your music different?
I think the fact I embrace stem rest hip hop style with my heritage and culture has taken it to a level of representing for an entire community of people, where there are many misconceptions until they have met me or seen me play. I cover addiction and depression as well as struggle but also speak on solutions and my freestyle game is crazier than anyone. No show is ever the same
How does it feel being on warped tour?
Feels like hard work has finally paid off, and now it is time to do more hard work.
How is touring going so far?
We are 3 shows in. I have sweated a lot, not eaten much, and lost part of my front tooth, and played for thousands. So far pretty good!
Favorite place you've played before?
I loved playing at red rocks ... Matisyahu made it happen - that was a great experience ... Wow
What process do you go through when writing your music?
I usually set a deadline for me to finish things because I want to achieve goals. It's like a competitive sport - them I get sad in this time and happy and have lots of other things happening in my life too - depending on how I am in studio - we collaborate with others and get different ideas. It's usually a mental space I am.
What does music mean to you?
What does it mean? It is a flow I get into during the day. Music is my heart beat my pace my life and my livelihood. It happens to me and I happen to it. It keeps me going ...and I love singing and rapping it to others
