He began his recording career in 2021 on SoundCloud. He is Jewish and is known for embracing his heritage and faith in his music and public image.[1] His eponymous mixtape (2022) and its follow-up, the Magic Dreidel (2022), included the singles "Jew on the Canoe" and "The Nac".

His 2023 single "Mazel Tron" (with BabyTron) was accompanied by a music video directed by Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade.[5] Later that year, he released his debut studio album, Bars Mitzvah, which was supported by the single "Special K".

Early life and education

Pavlon was born on May 3, 2000, in Boca Raton, Florida. Before his musical career, Pavlon was a semiprofessional skateboarder with sponsors such as Habitat Skateboards, HUF Footwear, Mad Skate Shop, and Nili Widerker.[6] He started skating at the age of 7,[1] and has multiple videos on the Vice Skateboarding Channel, in which he showcases his skateboarding.[7][8][9][10]

Career

Pavlon started rapping in early 2021. His friend Jew Sheisty, a fellow Jewish rapper, became his mentor, pushing him to keep rapping after they posted a song on SoundCloud together. Jew Sheisty also created Pavlon's stage name; although originally going by "Luh Kosher," Jew Shiesty inspired Pavlon to add his initials to his stage name, resulting in "BLP Kosher."[1]

Pavlon's first major hit was "Mazel Tron" featuring fellow rapper BabyTron. The song and music video were recorded in the span of two days,[11] and accrued over a million views within a week.[12]

Artistry

Pavlon is known for wordplay, with multiple double entendres per song. His childhood consisting of skateboarding shows in his songs as well, with common references to certain skate tricks such as the NAC (Not a Chance) attempted by Paul Rodriguez in the film Street Dreams, Yoshi Tanenbaum, Rob Dyrdek, Tommy Guerrero, and dozens more. He even references BMX with bars about Dave Mirra.[citation needed]

Pavlon has also heavily embraced his Jewish heritage in a similar manner to his mentor, Jew Sheisty. His Jewish heritage is on display via song titles such as "Nightmare on Shabbat" and "Hanukkahween", as well as in the lyrics of most of his songs. Pavlon regularly practices Shabbat, as well as abstaining from drinking and drugs, citing previous addictions to marijuana.[13]
