Koh Yung Shen is a foul-mouthed, sloppy Manglish-speaking graff artist/designer who couldn’t care less about how he looks. Schizzow is a straight up cocky rapper who rolls with the diabolical Rogue Squadron crew, rips the mic with confidence and whose debut album Schizzowphrenic has just dropped. They’re also one I the same and we’re crazy about them both. Here’s 5 reasons why we think you should be mental about Schizzow/Koh Yung Shen too.

#1 He has a split personality. “My rapping persona and my usual self are 2 totally different personalities that live on in the same ego.”

#2 It’s not that he equates himself with Jesus but whenever Yung Shen encounters a tough situation, he asks himself: “What will Schizzow do?”

#3 He has identity issues: “I have more rock songs on his playlist than hip hop. I have both of Love Me Butch’s albums as well as the first print of Estranged’s In Hating Memory album” he says, “But I’m a straight up true school hip hop emcee.”

#4 He talks to his hat: “Have you met my friend Charlie? We brainstorm ideas together for my songs and my lyrics. He is also my cap.”

#5 He takes orders from the voice: “I would love to share more, but that voice in my head is threatening me not to reveal anymore or I’ll get into some nasty trouble.”
