Boston's own Cousin Stizz releases his album Just For You. The 13-track project includes the previously released singles "Say Dat," "Lethal Weapon" "Blessings" and "LBS." Cousin Stizz embarks on his North American tour accompanied by Tony Shhnow next month. The 17-date tour begins in Seattle on March 16th with stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and Brooklyn before wrapping up in Boston for a hometown show on April 22nd.

Just For You marks Cousin Stizz's first independent full-length release since his 2015 project Suffolk County. The new album follows his two-year hiatus beginning after his 2019 release Trying To Find My Next Thrill. The new music finds Stizz combining the lessons learned from years of working in the major label system along with the creative spontaneity that led to his artistic breakout. Last year, Stizz appeared on a handful of features including the Jonah Lennox collaboration "Phases," and "Nothin 2 Me," with Jazz Cartier.

29-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, which has received over 12 million listens on SoundCloud alone. He followed up his debut mixtape with MONDA, a mixtape dedicated to and named after his good friend who passed away from cancer. In 2017 he dropped his RCA label debut One Night Only and followed it up with 2019's Trying To Find My Next Thrill.
