It\u2019s a statement as much as the start of a fun, theoretical exercise. Even for an expansively ironic internet milieu, Kosher\u2019s aesthetic is unorthodox.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old rapper usually rocks a customized kashket in honor of his Jewish heritage, but his hairstyle remixes Hasidic tradition; his one-time payot curls are twisted into Haitian wicks, and he swirls it all together with skater bro attire. A cynic might call it trollish branding\u2014jarring clickbait for virality. But more functionally, it\u2019s the organic result of a Jewish upbringing in Broward County, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really that brackish water we\u2019re surrounded by that makes everybody a different breed,\u201d explains BLP, whose rap moniker is a combo of his government name, Benjamin Landy Pavlon, plus the Hebrew word kosher, which means food and drink that complies with Jewish dietary laws.<\/p>\n<p>Looks aside, BLP Kosher\u2019s been showing he belongs to a distinct brand of Florida spitters for a while now. Since emerging with tracks like <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/2xX6dBl77njzJFbB93xuYi?si=98b5e199eb3e4a33\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cCheap Gas\u201d<\/a> in 2022, he\u2019s earned millions of streams through deadpan raps that can be as brazen as they are emotionally revelatory, as silly as they are skillful. Tracks like \u201cSpecial K\u201d blend humor, playful menace, and sly nods to his Jewish heritage: \u201cIn Coral Springs, masked up, I\u2019m lookin\u2019 like I Robb Bank$\/And I\u2019m forever smokin\u2019 Nazis, I\u2019ma pass the blunt to Anne Frank.\u201d To date, the song has earned over 40 million streams on Spotify.<\/p>\n<p>Kosher has found himself following in the footsteps of the graduating class of rap stars from the Sunshine State. Cosigns from faves like Kodak Black prove he\u2019s racking up praise as fast as his YouTube views. But he\u2019s got loftier benchmarks to reach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to make the world a better place as best as I can,\u201d BLP maintains. It\u2019s a grand plan coated in the humility to say he\u2019s just a man. It\u2019s part of a wide-eyed altruism his mother embedded in him years ago. Raised in Deerfield Beach, Fla., he remembers her Saturday lessons in Jewish morality. \u201cI\u2019ve learned all the best things that I have learned from that,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Those teachings would help fill the gaps that weren\u2019t being bridged by textbooks. Troubled by what BLP describes as adversarial classmates and teachers that weren\u2019t much better, he stopped attending Boca Raton High School after only lasting a few hours during his first year. He told one of his teachers that it just wasn\u2019t going to work and called his mom to apologize to her for quitting. He recalls keeping it real with his first teacher.<\/p>\n<p>With school out of the picture, Kosher would take the train to Hialeah Market in Florida, where he and friends would film themselves performing various kickflips and other bits of flashy skateboard stuff. These guerilla skate sessions led to <em>Ocean\u2019s 11<\/em>-esque scheming; Kosher remembers his friends taking turns distracting courthouse officials so they could pull off Vine-worthy tricks at the courthouse. Getting chased off the premises of various area properties added a philosophical layer to the aerial thrills. \u201cThe cool thing about it is it just makes the word \u2018no\u2019 really [lead to] new opportunities expanding from that,\u201d Kosher expresses.<\/p>\n<p>BLP Kosher grew a bond with local skaters and area Haitians throughout this period. His friend Charmane styled his payot curls into wicks as a thank you for helping Charmane say a special prayer for his recently deceased girlfriend. While Kosher\u2019s skateboard skills continued to grow, he still had to work two day jobs. He knew pro-skating wasn\u2019t in his future, but rhyme sessions and the words of a friend made him believe a career behind a microphone was.<\/p>\n<p>Kosher had always loved listening to Florida rappers like 9lokknine and Kodak Black but hadn\u2019t considered taking rapping seriously. That changed when his friend Jew Shiesty convinced Kosher to record more often. Kosher\u2019s debut release, \u201cSweet Potato,\u201d is a playful showcase of his potential, but it needs a lot of polish. Released in December 2020, the Luhgary-assisted track was mixed so poorly that it would only play out of one speaker. But Kosher had found a new source of dopamine. \u201cComing up with a new bar is like landing a new [skateboard] trick,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>By late 2021, Kosher and Shiesty had formed a duo called Dreidel Twinz. Together, they\u2019d travel to local clubs to perform, even if audiences hadn\u2019t exactly warmed up to them yet. \u201cWe basically got booed off,\u201d Kosher admits. However, further encouragement from Shiesty and lessons from Kosher\u2019s past as a skater helped him keep his resolve. \u201cIf you\u2019re comfortable as a street skater, you\u2019re comfortable striving in places where you\u2019re not accepted,\u201d Kosher shares.<\/p>\n<p>After Shiesty\u2019s untimely passing in August of 2022, Kosher began taking his rap aspirations more seriously. Less than a month later, Kosher used his TikTok account to rap a snippet of \u201cCheap Gas.\u201d Naturally, Kosher\u2019s appearance gets people\u2019s attention. However, producer Nate B, who made the \u201cSpecial K\u201d and \u201cSkidoo\u201d beats for the rapper, noticed BLP\u2019s distinct cadence just as quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s uncatchable, but catchable,\u201d Nate describes. The authenticity behind Kosher\u2019s bars also stood out. \u201cHe\u2019s saying things that he did before,\u201d Nate adds but admits he wasn\u2019t an immediate fan. \u201cWhen I first heard him, I was confused,\u201d Nate recalls. \u201cBut I kept listening to him, and it grew on me.\u201d Kosher\u2019s increased streaming numbers were evidence of a bigger growth spurt.<\/p>\n<p>Since \u201cCheap Gas,\u201d BLP Kosher\u2019s fortified his status with projects like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7KP3jfdAFSjRx1HEQkIyyY?si=KZqAA2oaQVquUjN_l8C-Hg\" target=\"_blank\">BLP Kosher and the Magic Dreidel<\/a><\/em> (2022), <em>Bars Mitzvah<\/em> (2023), <em>Scarecrow<\/em> (2024) and its deluxe edition. His music received a bigger push when he signed a one-project deal with industry heavyweight Joie Manda\u2019s Encore Recordings in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a sizeable catalog, the Down South spitter has traded bars with BabyTron and collected over 247,000 subscribers on YouTube. Looking ahead to 2025, he plans to bring his quirky brand of lyricism international with a European tour. There\u2019s also a new project he\u2019s got in the making. Those are just incremental steps to a plan that\u2019s as ambitious as it is noble. \u201cI got to bring something to rap,\u201d Kosher says. \u201cI want to honor it. I want to change the world through music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Winter 2024 issue of\u00a0XXL\u00a0magazine featuring BLP Kosher&#8217;s Show &amp; Prove interview\u00a0is available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.xxlmag.com\/products\/xxl-magazine-winter-2024-issue\" target=\"_blank\">for purchase now<\/a>\u00a0and is on newsstands.
