In a passionate response to the recent Hamas attack on Israel, Israeli-American rapper Kosha Dillz, also known as Rami Even-Esh, has released a new song, “Bring the Family Home.” The song, written within days of the devastating attack, is accompanied by a video set in old Jewish New York on the Lower East Side, featuring iconic locations like Yonah Schimmel’s Knishery and the new Beastie Boys Square.

The attack, which unfolded just days ago on Oct. 7, has sent shockwaves through the Jewish community and beyond. In a recent interview with AllHipHop, Kosha Dillz expressed the gravity of the situation: “Saturday’s attack will go down as one of the most horrible days in Jewish history in our lifetime. It’s a day when children and grandmothers were slaughtered, ripped from their homes and documented on social media for the world to see.”

The personal impact of the attack on Kosha Dillz is profound, with many of his relatives and friends being either casualties or victims of abduction, including those who attended the ill-fated Supernova festival, where over 260 people lost their lives, and an unclear number were kidnapped.

In the face of such devastating loss, the question arises: how can one artist contemplate releasing a song? Kosha Dillz answers this with his poignant lyrics: “Bring the family home that’s what the world saying/ Cry to death or can’t sleep that’s the worst pain.” In a world where there seems to be no point of return, the artist chooses to create a form of communication through his platform as an opportunity for education.

Kosha Dillz, an advocate of peace, has been using his social media presence to elevate the stories of survivors. He said, “I already know that there are people with historical fact sheets, but even with footage of the horror, our current world doesn’t accept it as truth. My only option of not seeing it within my own eyes is getting videos from all my followers.

“The world seems to want to feel close to a cause, so the only way to do that is to give a platform to survivors, just like the Holocaust Museums did. This one is ours. Never again is now,” Kosha Dillz asserted.
