New York Yankees Host Kota the Friend, Prolific Independent Producer and Hip Hop Artist, at Yankee Stadium
The New York Yankees brought a true hometown moment to Yankee Stadium this week, hosting Kota the Friend, prolific independent producer and hip hop artist, during their matchup against the Los Angeles Angels.
In a special gesture, the Yankees presented Kota with his own official jersey — featuring his name on the back and the number 08, a nod to the year he launched his independent brand, FLTBYS (Flight Boys). Founded in 2008, FLTBYS is built on a message of independence, creativity, and global connection — values that Kota has carried with him throughout his career.

Though a proud Brooklynite, Kota’s influence extends far beyond New York City. Known for his soulful production, sharp lyricism, and unwavering independent approach, he’s performed for fans in South Africa, Australia, Germany, Paris, London, Amsterdam, and many other countries — always representing NYC wherever he goes.
