I'm shocked they got Kohh, respect

KOHH'S VERSE ON IT G MA WAS FLAMES

"I heard that his Father committed sucide." Why would she say that shit like it's a normal to bring that up, especially in this setting

Ugh why didn't you hire a better translator (aka me lol) that's from NY but knows the j-hiphop culture too. You tryna tell the audience about how there's a side of Japan that people don't usually see just by visiting and this rapper is being the trailblazer and you lost in translation...smh. Makes me sad, when international musicians have these opportunities and they're not able to show their full potential because you cost cutting on translators...

this just made my day. THANK YOU HOT 97 for having KOHH.

its awesome to see international artists digging each others styles so much and just respecting their music.

I'm glad to see KOHH is getting noticed. KOHH is such a unique person/artist he really deserves this

Never never never forget!!!!

I thought kohh was high during this interview but then I found out he doesn't speak English .

Interesting interview... I've always had a trip to Japan on my bucketlist . The whole Japanese hip-hop scene is large and they have a genuine appreciation for our culture.

Kinda not cool that she casually brought up papa kohh's suicide like real casual tho

Kohh talking about the drug use in japan is real kind made me realize how true it is. Im a brooklyn born japanese but i know my mom use to say my grandpa was into drugs deep and how he had a bad gambling problem and even dealt with the mafia. Even now i still dont hear about that side of things but it is def there

KOHH IS FIRE, BEEN LISTENING TO HIM FOR A WHILE, DONT SLEEP!!

She talking like he know all he saying 😭

kohh's not high. he just does not speak English well.

Saw him live two days ago, literally the kindest dude ever.

I think the main reason I vibe to KOHH so much is the lyrics they truly are deep meaningful and in all is so creative with the wordplay. You don't get to hear such positive things in the way he just makes it his own.

I just want to take the time out of my day to pay respect to one of my favorite artists who is also from Japan R.I.P. My nigga nujabes.

"yeah, his father commited suicide and shit.."

this is Dope I'm glad they really took time to check kohh out as a artist for real.

We see you Laura! Looking forward to watching you polish those solo skills.

he's so cute with his short answers

I'm so honored to watch this one that Japanese hip hop artist came up in Hot 97,but everyone knows the problem is different language between Japanese and English.. And also I'm sad kohh couldn't explain his new album... But I know how hard Japanese people speak English If there was real translator,it would have been much better and awesome. Kohh eventually became world artist,this is great evidence,well done, I will support him as fan and one of Japanese person!!!!!!

I love KOHH. I think he's such a cool and fresh guy with a new fresh look and style in his music. Also, I'm pretty tired of music from the US and UK. I mean, yeah guys you've got some really dope artists but the rest of the world does too, let them in! It's crazy that KOHH isn't a big star already - i've been following him for almost 2 years now.

his translator barely knew English

is this arigato shoelace susu dude

I like the fact he’s true to hip hop rapping about what’s going on in the ghettos of Japan the struggles the drug use and how he’s over coming it while shedding lite on the real issue

Wow congrats for being one of the first ppl to interview kohh from the states this is d.a legendary

I been listening to KOHH for a minute. He's got some cuts and even thought I don't know what he's saying his songs are fire. I'm waiting for him to do shows out here.

he's so cute omg Kohh

Wish the volume was higher. I'm really hoping to see more of Kohh here in the USA. I listen to a lot of his Japanese music.He can really make it here even if he is only speaking Japanese.

He needed a better translator so he could be more comfortable to speak about his music/passion because I know he probably was super stoked to be there but didn’t know how to articulate it the best way… He’s owed a better interview. LOVE KOHH NEVER NEVER FORGET!

expected more from the interview but his music sounds fire AF... that Paris track🔥🔥🔥

Good way to expand his fanbase doing these kinds of interviews even though it probably is a little weird at his current language level. Especially with how fast the interviewers talk and the language they use, that shit is intimidating for someone just learning lol.

"He Kills it"..... he really did. Kohhs verse on It G Ma is the best of the four I think. Amazing.

If you pause at 5:17, the guy on the right is just makin a face like "Fuuuck, I said I sorta speak English"

aye even if he didnt talk much its good to see him on hot97

just cause u got kohh im subbing

Were can I find all his music I saw him perform live on a show and god damn did he kill it

KOHH is greatness - Team Tomodachi!

Get this guy the interview he deserves

KOHH is a legend... A Living Legend (y)

I can't believe KOHH is at Hot 97... Respect

Didn't expect kohh here. Really happy that he is being recognized. He is dope AF. i though he could speak english guess i was wrong

Kohh is my inspiration!

it's crazy it took about 3 to 4 years for Kohh to be recognized in certain parts of America. Vice did it first if I'm not mistaken.

Good for you Laura doing your thang

I'm actually live in korea as korean but also listen japan hiphop and there many potential i think

Please interview Keith ape or jay park and the entire AOMG or illionaire gang 😭😭 people should know about those cause it's really amazing

This was cool to see them being interviewed but I wish they would have asked about Loota too and had a better rep for them so things could have been translated more clearly.

Love Kohh. Please do Song Minho from Korea

KOHH getting recognized more, that's crazy. My favorite song on Dirt II is Hate Me.

i love kohh alot 😇😇

Christ, this is a pleasant surprise. Kohh is mad dope.

KOHHもここまできたか！

Bro just dropped 🔥

I could have translated his Japanese to English no problem~ shame he wasn't able to communicate further...

Kohhの音楽が大好きだよ！

kohh is so soft and shy i love him sm

Kohh is the man

I been knew about Japan when i was young because i used to love Japan lol. Research the Yakuza to start, you will find a lot

Now he bubbling hot!! Yuki chiba - mamushi , with megan the stallion feat.

He made it!!!! And he's so shy, but it's ok,☺️..... They should really hit up DEAN or AOMG

He said Fabolous. That's dope

Kohh英語あんまり喋れないのにインタビュー受けてるのすごいよ。彼を尊敬。

Lol, KOHH is too cute! He was struggling to talk english, but it's so cute!

Hiroi sekai, hiroi sekai!

Kohh and fab would be pure heat!!!!

いきなりオススメ出てきた

Laura did a good job on her own in this interview. Especially considering she was dealing with a person who doesn't understand the English language fully.

Kohh is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

How does j stash chill with kohh all the time if hes not good in english lol

KOHH is most worldwide than all the rappers his generation. This guy can speak one of the hardest language in the world ! his talent took him to HOT 97 ! if you keep hating bring your local artist in a Tokyo interview . good luck

business and art is one of kohhs good songs

They’re speaking SOO fast! Props to Kohh for keeping up considering English is not his first language

kohh is so dope I wish they had a better translator is was more like them talking with kohh as the prop

I was just excited to hear him speak English

I saw him live at Rhymester in Tokyo and he brings the energy. So fucking good and so humble. He always thanked everyone after each song.... respect 会いたい! >.< 頑張ってKOHH~~~

"people dont realize hes on it g ma" LOL right even though thats basically what made him grow in popularity

dope kohh

this is the honest reaction as a Japanese tho, firstly he's lit af in Japan, and then no rappers can speak English at all even if had badass style. so i guess he is the first Japanese rapper whose global perspective and badass taste live together. still boring conversation tho

My Ninjaaaaaa Kohh 🔥

holy shit. they finally have Kohh. I hope they bring on the older artists that paved the way in Asia

My all time favorite rapper

Wow Kohh really came to the interview.

kohh is dope

KOHH IS RAW TALENT

wheres keith y'all need to get him on the show he lit af

KOHH and loota are amazing

I want to go to Tokyo so bad

Awesome that they got Kohh, however it feels like such a missed opportunity. They are speaking too much, too quickly and using much far too difficult words and slang, for someone who doesn't really speak much English. How is he supposed to understand what they are asking him? Also, is that guy next to him supposed to be a translator? There is so much interesting stuff going on here in Japan and it would be great to see a a cultural exchange on a higher level.

YOU SHOULDVE USED THE TRANSLATOR MORE THIS INTERVIEW HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL WTF.

I first heard of him on Japanese-American singer Utada Hikaru's song "Boukyaku" been listening to him since

That song with tommy lee is fire!! If you haven't checked it out, please do

Did he change his name to yuki chiba

kohhはホンマにイケてる

I luhh kohh

Hey, HOT 97! I really appreciate this interview. I became a fan of KOHH last year when I saw him on "ITGMA." I have a bunch if rap and hip hop music from Asia on my KZfaq channel and Facebook page. If you want, you can check it out on my KZfaq profile or on Facebook (facebook.com/bowloframenmusic). I'm from Miami, so if he wants to do a show in New York, then he should do one here too lol.

It's unfortunate that he's not able to comprehend the questions because he clearly he doesn't understand English well and unable to have a conversation due to not having a translator . I feel he has the potential to become a worldwide artist and influence everyone with his music if only the language wasn't the barrier. I love Kohh even though I don't speak Japanese. Hopefully we are able to get translators so we can fully understand him as an artist .

HIROI SEKKAI go hard I can't even spell it lmaoooo but it's still good
