Since then he's written a total of 16 columns sharing his unique approach to always finding a way to move forward. His tenacity is impressive and the challenges he faces are summed up, in some respects, by the title of his new album, "Awkward In a Good Way." I've gathered together info about the album and a complete list of Kosha Dillz' columns to date. Kosha Dillz' "[Awkward In a Good Way](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/awkward-in-a-good-way/id726617089?ref=hypebot.com)" was released November 5th through a new deal with Murs 316\. Both Murs and Belief were closely involved in the creation of the album.

The title was really pushed on me by Murs. He told me that people will take me seriously once I realize that I'm never going to fit in, and that's ok. 'This is your lane, and you've created it, so accept it,' says Murs." **Kosha Dillz – Tupac Gone Fishin'** Additional music videos include: [Hangin' Out](http://youtu.be/knzj1Dji7Bc?ref=hypebot.com) [West Coast Flavor](http://youtu.be/O2x0FhdQTr0?ref=hypebot.com) ft.
