As a rapper, Kosher is not elite yet, although it isn’t for a lack of trying. So, what do teens do when they are at a crossroads in life? Nowadays, they go to the studio to exercise their intrepid demons. An openly Jewish rapper with an elaborate hairdo – he has two locs on the side of his head, as to combine the Hasidic style with the Haitian style – BLP Kosher is also armed with some dynamically deadpan flows and self-aware raps about his faith. Right now, he’s leaning into his upbringing and incorporating it into his public persona. I’ve experienced the good and the bad,” he says. Then, he moved to Deerfield in Broward County (it is unclear what prompted this), and he found himself around more people he didn’t know. The sunny destination where mafia characters go for their vacations proved fruitful for the youngster. As a kid, he spent time with his family in Boca. Kosher experienced two ends of the spectrum possible in South Florida. “I would live a non-religious lifestyle but still pray.”

“I would pray randomly at a bus stop, or when I’m doing something like jaywalking, I’ll start praying,” Kosher explains via Zoom.

Even though he says he practices mostly on Sabbath, he makes an effort to keep a relationship with the religion and more importantly, with God. Growing up, he was raised in the Jewish faith and still practices.

Rapper BLP Kosher, born Benjamin Landy Pavlon, is from Broward County, Florida, the same area as Kodak Black.
