After two consecutive years performing at Hot 97’s Summer Jam (2009, 2010), Kosha Dillz debuts his own summer jam by unveiling his tri-lingual single “Span Hebrish (Ech-Ani-Olech)” on a float at the NYC Israel Day Parade that was held this past Sunday, June 5th, 2011. This performance comes just one week prior to the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade…let’s see if the ever so progressive Dillz will be making the parade rounds and performing his tri-lingual diddy there next weekend.
The single is from Dillz’s latest release, Gina & The Garage Sale, produced by German production team Shuko and Fonty, a nine track EP that follows up his acclaimed debut album, Beverly Dillz. The EP is now available through iTunes and Amazon.
