Kosha Dillz at Empire Control Room
Kosha Dillz, aka Rami Matan Even-Esh, is a Brooklyn-based rapper that raps in such a diverse way no one has even been able to fit him “inside” a box. His collaborations hit every part of the soundscape from EDM king Kaskade and Matisyahu to Rza of Wu Tang Clan.
2021 has been Kosha's biggest year. His "Bald Fest" landed him on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and NY Post. His pandemic NYC street rhymes led him to the new motto of “We Outside ’Til We Inside,” after racking up tens of millions of views on IG pages like WhatisNewYork and NewYorkNico to Worldstar. Most notably, Kosha broke through to the mainstream after Fat Joe joined him in a Nor’Easter outside a NY Knicks game. Once Fat Joe saw how viral it became, he brought Dillz to freestyle on stage at a sold out MaximBet concert in Denver, and told him “Oh you ain’t outside anymore. You’re inside now!” Shortly after, his Adam Sandler inspired rap on "The Hanukkah Song 2.0" w/ Nissim Black scored airplay on Z100, Hot97 and a spot on the coveted Bottlerock Napa Fest.
Dillz isn’t worried about serendipity. "I know my story needs to be told. It is my job to tell it."
In 2022, that means he is releasing all new music.
