Cousin Stizz (born October 1, 1992), is an American hip hop, recording artist from Dorchester, Massachusetts.
Raised with his sisters by both of his parents in the Dorchester, Massachusetts area of Boston, Cousin Stizz didn’t have dreams of becoming the next Jay Z or Nas, he preferred being in the streets with his friends.
In his mid-teens, Cousin Stizz found a family outside of his home where his closest friends whom he called his brothers, encouraged him to pursue a music career. He met his manager Tim Larew, videographer Goodwin, as well as rapper Michael Christmas in 2012 at a local event called the 12 For 12 cypher series and began turning his freestyles into a future. Before rapping full-time, he took on the name Cousin Stizz after his childhood friend gave him the name at 12 years old.
