Rapper Cousin Stizz has been putting Boston on the map with versatile soundscapes that capture the raw essence of life’s highs and lows. • The Boston MC started freestyling as a teenager but didn’t view rapping as a full-time career path until he witnessed the breakout success of his friend Michael Christmas. Tracks like “Dirty Bands” and “Bonds” detail Stizz’s past selling drugs in high school. • After garnering massive attention with his 2015 debut mixtape, Suffolk County, he signed to RCA Records. • His 2017 major label debut album, One Night Only, is stacked with heavy-hitter features like Offset, Buddy and G-Eazy. • On his 2019 sophomore album, Trying To Find My Next Thrill, Stizz reflects on reaching a pivotal stage in his personal and professional life.
