Mark Ezekiel Maglasang (born June 13, 1995), also known mononymously as Honcho (formerly Bosx1ne), is a Filipino rapper, singer and songwriter. He founded the Filipino hip-hop group Ex Battalion in 2012,^[2] whose collective gained nationwide prominence with hits such as "Hayaan Mo Sila" and "No Games", the only trap tracks that charted the Top 10 of the now-defunct Billboard PH Top 20. The collective is also known for their numerous hit singles "Ikaw Kase", "Unreleased (Mahirap Na)", and "Yearly". He reportedly left the group in 2022 after an alleged altercation with fellow Ex Battalion member Skusta Clee and has since released solo work on his record label DeeFyre Records.
