WHY WOULD ISIS MESS WITH KOSHA DILLZ?

“Many people wonder what’s going on in this crazy world. Yes. I wonder the same thing. Television portrays horrible terrorism and gives shine to the people who do not deserve it. People feel so bad about themselves they wish to be recognized by doing the most atrocious activities known to man. The good guys who do good int he world, protecting their family and doing acts of “tikkun olam” don’t get the headlines.

I realized that the main goal of them is notoriety and attention seeking behavior. This draws very similar lines to a drug addict in active addiction (as I once was). They are self-centered, think of no one but themselves, and have no regard for human life. Destruction is something they seek and many innocent people die everyday, on top of violence and prejudice that travel into other areas of the world far beyond the barrels of guns they hold.”

Speaking on the album, Jahzel says: “My overall message is to show those who may be unaware of the struggles of the inner city youth, through stories of personal experience, the complex decisions that must be made on a daily basis, which are also restricted by limited options.
