New joint from the production team The Academy & they brought along some three lyrical Samurai Rydas to bless the track from the East Coast, West Coast & back to the Far East Coast with the homie Kojoe out in Japan. Before I forget…..Happy belated birthday to Kojoe too! Kojoe is just coming off his Kojoe Tuesdays series but is about to release an official mixtape in Japan & back here in the states. What better way that to get it poppin’ than to rock on a track with two other skilled emcees in Raekwon & Kurupt. Kojoe also has a track with Styles P that we’re hoping he eventually leaks later.

June 21, 2011
Representing for Japan, former Rawkus records artist & bi-lingual emcee Kojoe wants to you to get more familiar. Kojoe has released several bangers over the past year that I’ve been diggin & playing on my radio show. His ability to speak fluently in english as well as Japanese helps to expand his fanbase beyond the borders as opposed to just around the average city block. Lately he’s been dropping freestyles every Tuesday for his Kojoe Tuesdays marathon. Check his website for more IAMKOJOE.COM. Kojoe is an asian emcee with global aspirations….
New Music: Kojoe – ‘May Day’
March 7, 2011
Japanese hip hop artist Kojoe drops this new joint called ‘May Day’ which is the first single from the upcoming ‘Mixed Identities 1.5’ mixtape due this year. Â The project continues with the ‘Mixed Identities’ concept which is relative to Kojoe’s upbringing as a native Japanese Hip Hop artist who has also spent time in Queens & was at one time signed to Rawkus Records. Â The original concept is also evident in his decision to continue to rhyme in both Japanese & English & yet & still sound cohesive for hip hop fans from the ‘Far East Coast’ to the East Coast of the U.S. to still fully vibe with it. Â The track was produced by J. Cardim who’s done work with Joe Budden, Lil Wayne, Little Brother, Akon, Ludacris, Saigon, & many other notables in the rap game stateside. I also reposted one of my favorite joints from Kojoe called ‘Paper’ as a bonus track as well. Â Make sure you check out his website IAMKOJOE.COM & peep the tracks….
