In November 2012, as no-name artist he released his first piece “YELLOW T△PE”. In the song “FAMILY” recorded in the 2012 release, the daily struggles of a drug dependent mother in a metropolItan city and her coming-out as an addict was portrayed in a raw and realistic way that had listeners wanting more.

In July 2014, he released his 2nd album “MONOCHROME”. This was his first album that was released and turned heads when it was released due to the sequence of releasing the second produced album first. This release ranked 6th in the iTunes overall album chart and 1st in the Hop Hop/ Rap category, an immense feat for a new artist. In October 2014, he was the show model for FACETASM, a fashion brand by Hiromichi Ochiai featured on the Mercedes Benz Fashion week Tokyo.
In January 2015, he released his 1st Album “Kuchinashi”. It ranked 1st on the iTunes overall album chart and 1st on the Hip Hop/Rap charts. In the same month, he took part in the song “It G Ma (feat.

As of April 2016 the view counts have exceeded 21million. In June 2015, he released his third mixtape “YELLOW TAPE 3”. On October 28th 2015, he released his third album “DIRT”. Upon the release of the music videos, there was a tremendous reaction.
In December 2015, at LIQUIDROOM in Ebisu Tokyo, the tickets to his event “DIRT” CONCERT & GALLERY was sold out within 1 minute.
In March 2016, he was part the line-up of FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2016. In April 2016, he gained recognition for his artistic works in France, for which he was invited to take part in the F rench Foreign Ministry exchange meeting. In June 2016, he released his 4th album “DIRT II”

The lyrics to KOHH's song John and Yoko speak to a forbidden love that he shares with someone, acknowledging that while they know it's wrong, they can't help but feel like they are a perfect match for each other, just like John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Despite being warned by those around them and not knowing what the future holds, they can't deny the connection they feel. KOHH acknowledges that they are both physically attracted to each other, but it's not just about sex - the way they challenge each other and help each other grow is what makes their relationship special. While they both have significant others, everyone can see that they have something special and complement each other well. They are confident in their bond and feel like they can conquer anything together, just like John and Yoko. The song is a testament to the allure and intoxication of forbidden love, but also speaks to the depth of connection that can be formed between two individuals who are drawn to each other.

It's been so exciting to see KOHH breaking the status-quo in Japanese hip hop, setting a new standard for composing lyrics, being flexible to adapt the style from the US, and digest it in the context of the Japanese language. As one of the fans, encouraged on multiple occasions by your straight-forward lyrics without hesitance or humbleness, I would like to say thank you and I wish you'll lead a great life with the one you love.
