Kossisko Konan (1991/1992–present), known mononymously as Kossisko and formerly known as 100s, is an American singer/rapper and songwriter from Berkeley, California. In 2012, Kossisko, as rapper 100s, released their debut mixtape Ice Cold Perm. They were signed to Fool's Gold Records in June 2013. Following the release of the single "Ten Freaky Hoes", it was announced that Kossisko would be releasing their second mixtape, an EP titled Ivry, which was released on March 7, 2014, via Fool's Gold. It featured a greater g-funk and disco influence than their debut mixtape. They are also well known for the song "Life of a Mack", which appeared on the soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto V. At the start of 2015, they retired the 100s persona and now performs under the name Kossisko (which is their birth name). As Kossisko, they released their first single "This May Be Me" on February 17, 2015. The track was premiered by The Fader.[2] Later that year, Kossisko released their debut EP, Red White N Cruel.[3] In 2016, Kossisko launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund their work on a short horror film titled '2037.'[4]
