Cousin Stizz is keeping the releases coming this year, following up his last single "Coming For Everything" featuring Tony Shhnow. Moreover, he just released the track "Solo" with an accompanying music video, bringing back some warm and woozy West Coast vibes both in production and flow. Of course, the Massachusetts MC has played with this sound a lot before, but it always takes new listeners aback when they tap into the Boston native and hear something that sounds like it could've come out of L.A. Regardless, it's a vibrant and enjoyable display of Stizz's measured and syncopated flow, plus his ear for breezy beats that could soundtrack a sunny day.
Furthermore, reverb-heavy and funky guitar strums lead the way, with too many effects on it to even notice it's a string instrument. In fact, it could be a synth, but when it comes to keys, there are other soft piano leads throughout the track that overtake it melodically. In addition, there's the trademark bouncy bass hits, a sharp percussion pattern, and a great bed for Cousin Stizz to flex his flow on. While he cycles through a few different schemes, it always keeps its focus on the individual bar rather than stringing them all together perfectly. Overall, it's a pretty dynamic performance, and that's exactly what makes it stand out when compared to other instrumentals and songs structures in this vein.

Quotable Lyrics
Rush Hour, Chris Tuck', you workin' for the captain,
I seen all my dreams through the snow out in Aspen,
And it's still the same from the days when I was trapped in,
Thought we wasn't plugged, but we been adaptin'
