Broward County, Florida has produced some big names in the past ten years. That list includes Kodak Black, the late XXXTENTACION, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Robb Bank$. It’s also seen the emergence of Trapland Pat and Teejay3k. There’s one rapper that stands out amongst the rest of the newcomers though, and his name is BLP Kosher. A white kid with two giant wicks on his head like pais, BLP fits the Florida aesthetic perfectly with a twist of Judaism. He’s been cosigned by the likes of Cole Bennett, BabyTron, and Sematary. Skating references (“Flip an opp, no Yoshi Tanenbaum, Glock came with a laser”) and one-liners dissing Nazis (“So I be puffin' on these Nazis like they f-n’ Mary Jane”) riddle BLP Kosher’s music. His beat selection sounds typical of most Florida rappers, but with some Jewish flare. Amongst all the wackiness of BLP Kosher, he has a genuine talent for rapping. In his recent collaboration “Mazel Tron” with BabyTron, BLP went bar for bar with him (“Flyer than a birdie, Desert Eagle in my Trackhawk/I ain't Irish, but my money doubling, grab a shamrock”). While BLP’s lines can be comedic, he also can sneak in the occasional clever bar (“Third law, air mass as if it's up, then it's stuck/Huh, magnitude the opposite direction only thus”). He’s recently teased a new album called “Bars Mitzvah.”
While not much is known about BLP Kosher, there are old skate edits of him on YouTube under the name “BLP” (he’s pretty good at skateboarding too). I recently had a friend tell me that listening to BLP Kosher and understanding the skate references makes his music sound even better. While I disagree with him, I understand the sentiment of what he was saying. BLP Kosher is one of the most intriguing rappers of the new generation, and I’ll be excited to see what he does next. Some songs to check out would be “Deadman’s chest”, “Jaws” and “The Nac 2”.
