Cousin Stizz Drops Track with G-Eazy

Cousin Stizz and G-Eazy team up for new track, 'Neimans Barneys.'

Following the announcement of his new mixtape One Night Only, Boston rapper Cousin Stizz is back today to share another track, “Neimans Barneys” featuring Oakland’s G-Eazy. The new song follows the recently released “Jo Bros” and “Headlock” ft. Offset, off of One Night Only. “Headlock” has been one of Stizz’s most successful to date, receiving adoration from both fans and critics, with Pigeons and Planes calling it “his biggest moment yet.”

25-year-old Boston bred rapper Cousin Stizz is cementing himself as one of the top up-and-comers in hip-hop. Born and raised in a rough part of Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood, Stizz was forced to mature quickly. At the age of 13, Stizz was faced with a harsh reality when his close friend was killed by a gunshot wound, causing Stizz to misbehave. His mother then had to give him an ultimatum; he could either attend military school or high school in the suburbs to stay out of trouble. Stizz chose the latter, which served as both a huge culture shock and turning point in his life. While there, Cousin Stizz learned a lot about himself and how to adapt to others and his different surroundings. His schooling and experiences, which he calls the best four years of his life, greatly helped to shape his musical journey.

As a teenager, Cousin Stizz enjoyed freestyling and liked to rap for fun, but didn’t think much about making it a life career until his friend Michael Christmas started to become popular in the hip hop community. With the inspiration from his friend’s success, he owed it to himself and his family and friends to take his talent seriously and started recording music. This led to the release of his first mixtape Suffolk County in June 2015, he followed up Suffolk County with MONDA, a mixtape dedicated to and named after his good friend who passed away from cancer. The rapper has dominated various stages and toured all over the country, including Day N Night Fest and ComplexCon in Los Angeles.
