Career

On May 9, 2019, it was reportedly said that Bosx1ne had announced his disassociation from the hiphop group Ex Battalion. However, it was confirmed that Bosx1ne is still with the collective when he made his appearance in the music video of their single entitled "Pakinabang", which they released on August 5, 2019. Bosx1ne changed his screen name to Honcho in mid-2020.[3]

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.[4]
