Cousin Stizz<\/a>\u2018s has a tendency to take the path of least resistance. Stylistically, that\u2019s a strength. His blunt lyrics fit within a crisp, relaxed delivery, which ultimately settle into a straightforward flow. On his latest album, Trying To Find My Next Thrill<\/em>, the equation works as the Boston rapper tries to situate a myriad of genres, moods, and subjects into a 43-minute timespan.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoso,\u201d featuring $ean Wire, is the project at its most effortless \u2014 that\u2019s largely thanks to the duo\u2019s innate chemistry. Both musicians hail from Boston, a locale that\u2019s intertwined throughout Stizz\u2019s music. \u201cThe way I walk, the way I talk, the way I act, the way I think, the way I react, you know? It\u2019s all my neighborhood,\u201d Stizz told 90.9 WBUR<\/a> about growing up in Dorchester. Stizz and Wire function at different poles. Where Cousin\u2019s voice is gruff, the latter\u2019s vocals are smoothly processed as he anchors \u201cSoso\u2019s\u201d bridge and hook with the goofy declaration, \u201cThey don\u2019t know shit about me \/ I got the Midas touch.\u201d Thankfully, it frees up Cousin to deliver one of the album\u2019s most potent verses. Halfway through his performance, Stizz abandons his typical measured flow for a rapid blast about sneakers and ice water and other rapper things.<\/p>\n
