Tears Record was originally founded in 1996 at a street corner in Sierra Leone, West  Africa. This has since elevated into a record label managed by KOI-J himself. KOI-J, the spiritual one would often thank God for this great achievement.  It is hoped that the KOI-J’s story is one that would inspire other young artists who are going through growing pains currently.  “Tears” is simply defined as the act of weeping or grieving which is just a natural human reaction to pain. It may also be considered as a symbol of  emotions that an individual that has endured.  Tears represent symbolism of the hardship KOI-J experienced from the civil war in Sierra Leone to the time he immigrated to the US.  To God be the Glory!  Great things he has done!
