Building recognition as one of the UK’s rising stars, Liverpool’s KOJ is a versatile and introspective rapper who blends raw emotion with bold production. His music explores themes of self-discovery, power, and the consequences of ambition.

The Liverpool born and bred rapper had a breakthrough year in 2024, headlining the hometown leg of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Touchdown Tour with DJ Target and performing at major festivals like Liverpool Sound City, Dot to Dot, and Latitude. His new live event series, TRiBE sold out multiple dates, receiving a nod from The Face Magazine as part of a cultural spotlight on Liverpool. KOJ also launched This is Not a Drill a fan-driven project for his growing community, #ThePeoplesTribe. His Red Bull ‘Raise the Bar’ performance gained over 20k views in one day, plus his scene stealing sessions with DJ AG and DJ Makten. In the past 12 months KOJ has gained playlist and media support from BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Introducing, Spotify, Amazon Music, Clash, KISS FM, BET UK, and Apple Music’s New Fire, and New Music Daily.

His latest release - which is his debut EP - ‘Villain With A Conscience’ has just been released. The record can be viewed as a time lapse of turning negatives into positives. Across the EP, KOJ delves into feeling out of place in various worlds before ultimately stepping into his own. With a compelling mix of storytelling and sharp lyricism, this project cements him as a name to watch in the UK rap scene.
