Boston’s favorite spoon-fed wordsmith, Cousin Stizz has always been on a road of creative self-improvement that has slowly but surely evolved into an ever-greater stylistic influence on the most grandiose of hip-hop’s scales. Where once stood an underground figure with a charming smile and a meditative cadence now stands one of the most recognizable deliveries in rap. And his latest single release – his first since last Summer’s 3-track, Cold Times – Stizz returns to prove that even the most established flow leaves room for deviation.

 

Perfect is beyond moody. Anthemic in its angst, it’s a reminder that Cousin Stizz is not to be questioned when it comes to exuding the rawest of energies. Recruiting the Miami it squad of the moment, City Girls, Perfect is an irreverent trap anthem for the ages, brimming with bass, repeatability, and a whole lot of attitude.
