Suit & Struggle: KOJ’s Double Life in “Love, Money, Drugs”

KOJ (pronounced like “dodge”) doesn’t waste a breath on “Love, Money, Drugs”, diving straight into the chaos that ambition and desire can bring. The production by OzMob, Jynxstarr, and TEE matches the energy perfectly—a taut, pulsating beat that dares you to step wrong. KOJ’s voice is rugged, pulling no punches, and the beat moves like a shadow, haunting and heavy.

The black-and-white video for the track is a whole movie on its own that moves like a fever dream – snapping between two versions of KOJ: one draped in tailored suits and moving through scenes of elegance, the other unraveling in the streets, looking busted and weighed down. That final God-view shot, him laid out on cold concrete, tells you everything—sometimes flying too close to the sun ends in freefall.

Lyrically, KOJ isn’t here to sugarcoat. He’s got sharp questions for the listener and himself: “Once you get what you want, what then?” His verses cut through illusions with a quick tongue, pushing a conversation about how these forces can build you up or leave you broken.

With the debut EP, Villian With A Conscience, looming, KOJ continues to blend slick lyricism with a grounded lens on the ups and downs of life. Run this one back, study it, and let the visuals take you deeper.
