Kosha Dillz is an upcoming Israeli American hip hop artist that has put the Zionist swagger back in being Jewish. A flashy pinky ring style and gold-star dress code using crowd moving beats and profound lyrics in Hebrew, English and Spanish to shift a person's homeostasis, this unorthodox boom bap-ist's knowledge of emceeing brings the pride back that you might have once lost. With live shows with everyone from Pigeon John and the Pharcyde to Jurassic 5 and Killah Priest, he has crossover appeal to the hardest of the street at underground rap shows, to the softest of hands at an easy listening rock show. Hard work has earned him a rite of passage like no other, being the only emcee who managed to land on BET's 106th and Park while performing and recording with Grammy Nominee Matisyahu.

C Rayz needs no introduction.His 500 live shows in 3 years with 13 albums out to date that have sold over 50,000 copies have developed him press in everything from Entertainment Weekly and Source Magazine to MTV. He has collaborated with everyone from Murs and MF DOOM to Immortal Technique and the Insane Clown Posse.
Notorious freestyles have won the world famous EOW emcee challenge a record 3 times, and inspired him to make an album like no other.
FREESTYLE VS WRITTEN LP brings a A yeshiva bred/college grad/ ex convict in KOSHA DILLZ with an impulsive World Reknown artist to do the impossible: record a 24 hour album where one artist freestyles and the other writes the story.
An album that breaks barriers with classic hip rock samples and party moving sounds, your crowd might be the weirdest mix you have seen between Rabbis, backpackers, and hipsters you'll see at a show. Shalom!
