Cousin Stizz In Concert
In just a few years, Cousin Stizz went from being a troubled teen to turning his life around and becoming one of Boston's most esteemed rappers. Born Stephen Goss in 1992 in Boston, Stizz grew up in the Dorchester neighborhood. He received the name Cousin Stizz from a childhood friend.
At a very young age, he had to deal with trauma, when one of his closest friends was shot to death. Stizz had trouble dealing with it, and as a result, his parents gave him a choice between going to military school or attending a high school in the suburbs. Shortly after, he attended Reading Memorial High School in Reading, Massachusetts.
In his late teens, Stizz started rapping and joined a group called Pilot Nation, and with them he entered the Boston rap scene. He became friends with local artist Michael Christmas, who started blowing up in 2013, causing Stizz to take his own career and ambitions seriously. The following year, he dropped his first single, "Shoutout."
In 2015, Cousin Stizz dropped his first mixtape,‘Suffolk County,' which received 12 million streams on SoundCloud. He scored high-profile listeners from the release, including Drake, who put the song on a playlist for his own birthday party. Stizz put out his second mixtape, ‘MONDA,' the following year, and started to gain local acclaim in Boston.
Because of the success of his first two mixtapes, he scored a deal with RCA Records, where he quickly recorded and released ‘One Night Only.' The 2017 studio LP featured Offset, G-Eazy, and more. "Headlock" (featuring Offset) was a massive streaming hit, reaching No. 12 on Billboard's Next Big Sound chart. In December 2018, Cousin Stizz was named "Artist of the Year" at the Boston Music Awards. He was the first hip-hop musician to receive the honor.
The performance, once the artist arrived was pretty good, but overall the Boston hip-hop/rap audience does not give me much encouragement to ever see one of my favorite artists live in this city ever again really.
Stizz was amazing. The openers were on for longer than I would have hoped for but Stizz made it worth it in the end. :)
Stizz treated the crowd like we were all family. Super vibey and an amazing artist to see live.
Stizz was amazing! He went for about two hours and his energy was unmatchable. The set up to the entire show was amazing and he truly created history in Boston that night! I have gone back to see Stizz perform multiple times since this show!
Got rerouted to the venue and ended up behind it,meanwhile we found stizz and his friends all hanging there so we stopped and talked with him, great guy and will definitely be at the next Boston show , got my shirt signed and two posters signed inside the venue from his team
Amazing show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was really excited to go see Cousin Stizz; instead I saw all of his friends trying to come up in the rap game. 3 HOURS STANDING UP, GETTING PUSHED & STEPPED ON, NEAR ANNOYING & SMELLY PEOPLE just to watch Cousin Stizz perform for 45 minutes. Very disappointed, I was expecting a lot moree!
