Kosha Dillz continues his social-political stance with his latest release "Watermelon – אבטיח", a playful but insightful piece that proposes for all warring parties in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war to end the conflict. Over a playful and bouncy backdrop made up of synth plucks, bells and smooth grooves, Kosha uses the watermelon as a symbol of resistance and uses playful storytelling to drive home his point. He is joined by fellow Israeli Wild 'N Out comedian/rapper Or Mash who adds her lighthearted touch to the track.
the history of the watermelon as a symbol of Palestinian resistance happened after there was a ban on waiving Palestinian flags post 1967 war and that hasn't been illegal since 1993.
Kosha Dillz has previously released Bring The Family Home and Ceasefire, which are more serious songs advocating for hostages and encouraging a cease-fire only if the hostages are released first. He has also created a man on the street series interviewing everyone from Hamas and Hezbollah supporters to Hostage families. Kosha Dillz and Or Mash have created a new war bop that is for those who have become so delirious that only exaggeration and imagination can help the world. Watermelon (Avatiach) seems to be a song that gives everyone a breath of fresh air for a second and then returns to reality. Imagine if we could have watermelon for the land, and everything be fine and dandy.
