In The Know Honors: KOTA the Friend

KOTA the Friend
KOTA the Friend

Rapper
Age: 29
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York

While many rappers often celebrate their fame and fortune in their music, Avery Jones — otherwise known as KOTA the Friend — approaches hip-hop with a level of introspection that sheds light on issues of mental health and depression. In his 2019 album FOTO, for example, the Brooklyn-born artist takes listeners through chapters of his life before reaching a sense of clarity. Similar themes can be found in his subsequent albums EVERYTHING, Lyrics to GO, Vol. 1 and Lyrics to GO, Vol. 2. The artist, who has turned down multiple record deals, has been lauded for his lyricism and content.
