Coby Rhodes, better known by his stage name Lunchbox, is an American underground rapper from New York.

Lunchbox began producing in 2014 under the alias Younglunchbox, influenced by his parents who were musicians too. He gained a lot of traction when he got to produce for Sheck Wes, after he DM’d Lunch on Facebook asking him for beats when he was only 16 years old.

On September 26, 2019, Lunchbox released his first album, A Dark Night in Gotham. In an interview with Our Generation Music, he said:

That was really just me trying shit with my voice, like, when I first started using autotune and shit

After dropping a couple singles, Lunchbox released one of his breakout singles, “Mode” on SoundCloud featuring Yeat.
Lunchbox said in an interview with Kids Take Over:

I feel like, I'ma be real, when Yeat was like ‘bro let me get on Mode’, that’s when n* started giving a fuck

In the same interview, Lunchbox mentioned that the two met each other thanks to Twitter group chats where people would bully or ignore Yeat and make fun of him.

Six months after “Mode” was released, on August 2, 2022, Lunchbox dropped his second project ‘Nightfall’, where he started to define even more his signature sound.

In late 2022 and 2023, Lunchbox polished his own signature sound next to notable soloindawn producers amir.pr0d and dulio with New Jazz.
The project’s sound can be described as gritty, utilizing unorthodox sounds and heavy bass, while pulling inspiration from early 2000’s hip-hop.

Lunchbox has recently began to gain traction thanks to his “new jazz” sound, characterized by dynamic beats produced mainly by amir, dulio, Jdolla, and Paulo. The genre is known for its catchy hooks, and dynamic instrumentation that captivates listeners.
