Hi guys! I usually prefer aggressive and dark rap stuff, but today’s track was bought me by its wonderfully calm old-school beat and serious lyrics + amazing flow. Today here is Kosha Dillz — hip-hop / rap artist from LA, US, and his track “With Everything That’s Goin’ On…What’s Goin On?”. Let’s check it out!
Since besides other music I do rap myself, I am incredibly picky about this kind of music. I can surely say that this stuff is strong from both, musical and lyric perspectives. It’s not that new-school shit with distorted beats, synthetic vocals, about drugs, bitches, and money. This stuff will make your brain think a bit for sure, which is wonderful. For me, rap is a music of thinking and music of the power of words.
So, enter the realm of thought-provoking hip-hop with Los Angeles-based artist Kosha Dillz. His track, “With Everything That’s Goin’ On…What’s Goin On?,” dives deep into the complexities of life, delivering poignant lyrics wrapped in a smooth and jazzy rap style. From addressing societal issues to reflecting on personal struggles, Kosha Dillz masterfully navigates the intricacies of modern existence, inviting listeners to ponder the state of the world and their place within it.
With its laid-back groove and introspective vibe, “With Everything That’s Goin’ On…What’s Goin On?” serves as a compelling commentary on the human experience. Kosha Dillz’s distinctive flow effortlessly glides over the soulful instrumentation, creating a captivating sonic landscape that draws listeners in from start to finish. As he explores themes of identity, resilience, and social justice, the track resonates with a sense of authenticity and depth, leaving a lasting impression on all who listen.

With 180 days into a war of tens of thousands deaths, it is time to take a valid look at what people are marching and fighting about. Are we able to take a good look if everting we have done is perfect? Mental health has taken a huge toll next to our friends and family lives as we are inundated every day with images of death and despair. In “With Everything That’s Goin’ On…What’s Goin On?” Kosha Dillz goes back n forth between the contradictions of modern day activism while also questioning the perfection of his own bias and where he may be at fault. In his own chorus he sings “With Everything That’s Goin’ On…What’s Goin On?”Some people get it right including me including you…so what we gonna do?”
War isn’t a perfect answer to bring peace but it is where acceptance comes into play, and this song gracefully echoes the somber imperfections of it all within the war zone and outside the war zone. Hopefully it will all end soon.
As usual, thank you very much for being with me today 🙂 Enjoy the music, and stand with Ukraine! Peace <3
