HB Cozy aka Cj is a 25 year old rapper from Rochester NY. A big fan of anime, he is inspired by artists such as Drake, A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi and Playboy and Benny the Butcher. His latest project is entitled “Cozy Lane Tape”. The synergy at play between the rapper’s bars and the production is great. The samples and kits on each track is perfectly placed and timed while the flow between beats and the lyrics is seamless. For a project with a run time of under 10 minutes, it’s filled with an obscene amount of eclectic and original moments. The difference is that HB Cozy sounds less like a 24-year-old, independent up-and-coming rapper that is rapping like his life is on the line, and more like a mature, hardened veteran who has already cemented himself as a significant voice in the rap game And also offers a new perspective for rap fans, in an era of ever changing hip-hop styles.
