Cousin Stizz knows a good beat when he hears one—working with producers like Lil Rich and WondaGurl, the Boston rapper has dabbled in flute-rap, slow trap, and beyond. On “Blessings,” the first single from his forthcoming 2022 album Just for You, he proves his knack for picking up playful flows that catch each turn with ease. Stizz opens the track by giving Tee-WaTT and M. Ali’s instrumental ample room to breathe, letting the smooth, soulful sample speak for itself. “Eyes on the message/Keep it all blessings,” he raps, sounding steady and self-assured. This kind of honesty about life’s lessons can only come straight from the heart.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
