About Kosha Dillz
A veteran of New York’s underground hip-hop scene, Dillz moved to Los Angeles in 2010 and has built a global following. His discography spans multiple studio albums, including 2016’s Point and 2019’s What Time Is It? He’s shared stages at SXSW, the Montreal Jazz Festival, and the Vans Warped Tour. Known for multilingual verses—English, Hebrew and Spanish—he weaves personal narratives with social commentary, reflecting his own immigrant background and Jewish identity.
Ticket Details & Fan Advice
Free Times Cafe, located on College Street, holds fewer than 100 guests for concerts. Dillz’s announcement warns that tickets are “limited,” so those aiming to attend should purchase early. Tickets are available through the link in his Instagram bio. Due to capacity constraints, arriving punctually is key; the venue’s doors open at 7 p.m. with the show slated to begin at 8.
What To Expect
Attendees can look forward to tracks from Dillz’s recent releases, such as “Born In The Bronx” and “Black Lives Matter,” alongside crowd favorites like “The Billboard” and “Milk & Honey.” Fans should prepare for guest appearances from local beatmakers or openers hand-picked by the artist. His dynamic performance style—moving between rapid cadences and call-and-response sections—transforms even small rooms into high-energy experiences.
Why This Show Matters
For Toronto’s tight-knit hip-hop community, booking an international independent artist of Dillz’s stature represents a win, especially at a nontraditional music spot. Free Times Cafe, known more for coffeehouse readings and blues nights, is shifting into new territory with this booking. It reflects both Dillz’s willingness to play unconventional venues and the city’s appetite for boundary-pushing talent.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter who’s followed his battle-rap days or a newcomer drawn by online buzz, this weekend’s show offers an up-close look at an artist who keeps evolving. Don’t miss your chance to catch Kosha Dillz lighting up one of Toronto’s most intimate music settings this Sunday.
