A story written in bars.
What started as writing rap lyrics over acoustic guitar to ask girls to prom in Atlanta, Georgia, became one of the most explosive careers in anime music history. None Like Joshua — NLJ — launched his YouTube channel in 2010 and discovered that the intersection of hip-hop and anime wasn't a niche. It was a movement waiting to happen.
By 2016, Symphonic Distribution named him their “Artist to Watch.” By 2018, he was headlining Anime Expo in Los Angeles. By 2019, he was everywhere — Crunchyroll Expo, PAX East, Magfest, Anime Weekend Atlanta — performing high-energy anime rap concerts that turned convention halls into mosh pits. His “Evil Morty Dubstep Rap” crossed 19 million views. His “Rap Hokage” Naruto mixtape became the definitive anime rap project. And collaborations with Nux Taku, CDawgVA, The Anime Man, Rustage, and Caleb Hyles proved that NLJ wasn't just a solo act — he was the hub of an entire creative ecosystem.
The international breakthrough came fast: the Netherlands (2015), Poland (2023), Sweden and Germany (2024), and Canada multiple times. His collaboration with French metal/rap band Smash Hit Combo produced the album “L33T,” which hit #1 on the iTunes metal charts in France. 48+ convention appearances across 4 continents. 200 million YouTube views from 169 countries. Semi-fluent in French and Spanish. This isn't someone who just raps about anime — this is someone who has turned anime culture into a global live experience.
His partnership with DJ NINJ3FF3C7 — who also performs at Knox Pop Con 2026 — represents the ultimate anime event experience: NLJ on the mic, NINJ3FF3C7 on the decks, and the entire crowd going absolutely feral. They've performed together at WeTouchGrass events and anime raves across the country, building a reputation as the most electrifying duo in anime music.
Now, he's bringing all of that energy to Knoxville as the official MC and performing artist at Knox Pop Con 2026. This is going to be loud.
MC. Performer. Energy source.
None Like Joshua doesn't just show up — he takes over. As both the event MC and a performing artist, he'll be the voice and heartbeat of Knox Pop Con 2026 from open to close.
