Upcoming British rapper KOJ is making waves with his latest single and the announcement of his debut EP, ‘Villain with a Conscience’. Out now! The title track is setting the stage for the highly anticipated full release on 4 April via Interval Records under EMI North.<\/p>\n
Hailing from Liverpool, KOJ has established himself as one of the UK\u2019s most compelling rising stars. A versatile and introspective rapper, he blends raw emotion with bold production from frequent collaborator TEE and legendary hip-hop producer Joe Buddha. His music delves into themes of self-discovery, power, and ambition, offering deeply personal storytelling that remains both relevant and thought-provoking.<\/p>\n
After making a bold return with A Reminder, KOJ explored the intoxicating yet destructive nature of Love Money Drugs, portraying them as forces that can elevate or destroy. A Roadman\u2019s Tale of Home examined identity and belonging, while his latest single, Villain with a Conscience<\/a>, takes this a step further\u2014grappling with the feeling of being out of place before finally stepping into his own.<\/p>\n KOJ explains:<\/p>\n Produced by TEE, the track pushes KOJ further than ever sonically, mirroring his artistic evolution. The accompanying visual also sees him elevate his storytelling, stretching creative boundaries like never before.<\/p>\n\u201cIt represents a journey through many worlds. I\u2019ve had the ability to exist in these different realities, but none ever felt like my own, a place where I could be my true self. This song marks the moment I decided to take a leap of faith into my own world\u2014the real world. It\u2019s the turning point of the EP.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n
