Rhymes, Roots & Redemption w/ Kosha Dillz on ‘Bring the Family Home’”
Kosha Dillz shares his journey of navigating Jewish identity through the lens of comedy and rap. He reflects on his upbringing, the impact of October 7th, and the creation of his film 'Bring the Family Home,' which explores contemporary Jewish issues post October 7th, the encampments to the release of the hostages. Kosha emphasizes the importance of community, storytelling, and humor in advocating for Jewish representation in the arts.
Kosha Dillz—born Rami Matan Even-Esh—is a freestyle phenom, rapper, storyteller, and community builder whose career bridges hip-hop, Jewish identity, and unapologetic activism. Known for his electrifying performances from the streets of New York to stages at SXSW, BET Cyphers, and international festivals, he has collaborated with artists like Matisyahu, RZA, and Fat Joe while cultivating a reputation for turning raw personal history into powerful art. A child of Israeli immigrants and a longtime advocate for hostage awareness and Jewish community resilience, Kosha blends humor, grit, and vulnerability in a way few artists do. Whether going viral for standing up against antisemitism on campus or dropping multilingual bars in English, Hebrew, and Spanish, Kosha Dillz continues to redefine what it means to be a rapper with purpose.
