MLS 116: The Stupid Kozo Episode w/ Submerse

Finally got stupid kozo on! Stupid Kozo is a Japanese DJ and Tokyo transplant by way of Fukuoka. Long before the covidvirus had every DJ live streaming, he was running the Absymal Lounge online radio show. He can usually be spoted at beat shows here in Tokyo but also makes his way to Okinawa a few times a year to spin as well. I first came into contact with Stupid Kozo and Submerse while playing Overwatch on PS4. Randomly teamed with them and got a win. So we spend the first several minutes talking about gaming and the new upcoming console generations. After that Kozo shares how he first became interested in non-japanese music and culture, studying abroad and using rap lyrics to learn English, how useful traveling abroad was in helping him better understand hip-hop culture. Submerse also returns to the podcast for the first time since he co-hosted the Marcus D episode. We get into a lot other random convos. Be sure to return for part two next tuesday where we talk about early beat music scene artists like Daedelus and Prefuse73. Stupid Kozo has the best name. Pay attention. Like share subscribe.
