Career
2012—2021: Solo activities and Ex Battalion
Bosx1ne founded Ex Battalion who gained nationwide fame in 2018 after the release of "Hayaan Mo Sila", he changed his screen name to Honcho in mid-2020.[4]
In April 2021, Honcho announced a lenten special EP entitled "Rosario", which he would be releasing on YouTube on a one-track-a-day arrangement from April 1 to 4, starting with the first song entitled "Ulap" featuring Jekkpot, Brando, and MC Einstein, and finally ending with the titular song itself.[5]
2022: Departure from Ex Battalion and solo emergence
In August 2022, Honcho apparently was "kicked out" of Ex Battalion after an alleged altercation with Skusta Clee, according to a cryptic post by the latter indicating Honcho has left the group and has since released solo work on his record label DeeFyre Records.[3][6]
2025—present: New singles, and label signing with NOVWLZ
In December 2025, Honcho was revealed as part of NOVWLZ (pronounced no-vowels), a new music label backed by the Viva Music Group, marking the artist's return to both the music scene and Viva Records. Part of the label's first set of roster included hip-hop acts ronrookie, Vambre, Bad Dee, Ram Millr, Ricochét, Wolbsgvng, Kiervy, Aliya, and TRA₱ BOY$.[7]
On the same month, Honcho released "Disorder" as part of the label launch. A self-produced track together with NOVWLZ co-founder Archie Malate, "Disorder" is described as a hard-hitting, beat-heavy single that captures the chaos, conflict, and clarity of navigating a world that constantly pulls you in different directions by entertainment publication Pikapika.[8] From one track to another, "Disorder" was followed by the release of "Talk To Me" (featuring Tanikala) with an accompanying music video[9], which gained a hundred thousand views two weeks from release.[10]
