Benjamin Landy Pavlon (born May 3, 2000), professionally known as BLP Kosher (stylized in all caps), is an American rapper, songwriter, and skateboarder. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

He began his recording career in 2021 on SoundCloud. He is Jewish and is known for embracing his heritage and faith in his music and public image. [1] His eponymous mixtape (2022) and its follow-up, the Magic Dreidel (2022), included the singles "Jew on the Canoe" and "The Nac".

His 2023 single "Mazel Tron" (with BabyTron) was accompanied by a music video directed by Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade. [5] Later that year, he released his debut studio album, Bars Mitzvah, which was supported by the single "Special K".

Early life and education

Pavlon was born on May 3, 2000, in Boca Raton, Florida. Before rap, Pavlon was a semiprofessional skateboarder with sponsors such as Habitat Skateboards, HUF Footwear, Mad Skate Shop, and Nili Widerker. [6] He started skating at the age of 7, [1] and has multiple videos on the Vice Skateboarding Channel, in which he showcases his skateboarding. [7] [8] [9] [10]

Career

Pavlon started rapping in early 2021. His friend Jew Sheisty, a fellow Jewish rapper, became his mentor, pushing him to keep rapping after they posted a song on SoundCloud together. Jew Sheisty also created Landy Pavlon's stage name, and when Landy Pavlon told him he was thinking of naming himself "Luh Kosher", Jew Sheisty told him to keep the BLP from his skating days, and thus BLP Kosher was born. [1]

His first major hit was the song "Mazel Tron", featuring Detroit rapper BabyTron. The song and music video were recorded in the span of two days, [11] and accrued over a million views within a week. [12]

Artistry

Pavlon is known for wordplay, with multiple double entendres per song. His childhood consisting of skateboarding shows in his songs as well, with common references to certain skate tricks such as the NAC (Not a Chance) attempted by Paul Rodriguez in the film Street Dreams, Yoshi Tanenbaum, Rob Dyrdek, Tommy Guerrero, and dozens more. He even references BMX with bars about Dave Mirra.[ citation needed ]

Pavlon has also heavily embraced his Jewish heritage, similarly to his predecessor and mentor, Jew Sheisty. His Jewish heritage is on display via song titles such as "Nightmare on Shabbat" and "Hanukkahween", as well as in the lyrics of most of, if not all of his songs. Pavlon regularly practices Shabbat, as well as abstaining from drinking and drugs, citing previous addictions to marijuana. [13]
