Born Rami Even-Esh to Israeli parents, Kosha Dillza grew up hearing hip hop pioneers, but it was a troubled adolescence of substance abuse, rehab and even incarceration. Determined to right his path, he vowed not to break the law and make teshuvah. He sought out spiritual and moral guidance and stumbled on the Jewish tradition of his birth. He put thoughts to paper as lyrical poetry, and found his own journey back to Judaism a powerful model and metaphor for his own personal struggle.
This combination of heritage and hip-hop found a life onstage, where Rami took on the name Kosha Dillz, dropping positive rhymes that represented his heritage in a unique and real way that quickly gained respect in the rap world.
