It’s a track eight years in the making, but alas, the Murs and Kosha Dillz collaboration has arrived in video format. The Jewish rapper extraordinaire met the longtime Living Legend in 2008 after a show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Murs didn’t immediately like the overzealous young emcee, but eventually Kosha calmed his ways and convinced Murs he needed to be on a song with him.
The result is “We Are Different” and the song couldn’t be more well-timed. Considering the cultural climate our society is currently experiencing, “We Are Different” tackles an important topic. Featuring people of various ethnicities, backgrounds, disabilities, and socio-economical statuses, the video reminds us we are all part of a complex fabric and should be treated with respect no matter what we look like, how much money we have or where we’re from. Produced by mutual friend Jesse Shatkin and directed by Diwon, “We Are Different” is some of Kosha Dillz’s best work to date.
“Working with Murs is great experience,” Kosha says. “I get excited when artists I want to work with are excited about a song and concept that brings us together. He is an artist who cares and you can hear it in his rhymes.”
Kosha is getting ready for his SXSW showcase in Austin, Texas, which features headliner Kool Keith. Check out the full schedule below and watch the video for “We Are Different.”
