Cousin Cush - Muddy (EP)

“Colder” feels like those winter mornings, with the sun creeping in, at least 60 degrees out, slightly breezy, wood & charcoal burning, the scent of the embers, this is very reminiscent, like I’ve heard it before. Still, I haven’t, but his braggadocio allows him to slide on the records where it sounds oh so familiar.

“Rasheed” is as slump as it gets, wood grain gripper right here, the instrumental “Fuq” bleeds into the Lo-Fi R&B tale of heartache & dismissal “LemmeLone,” very moody, like the sunset, is already creeping in. Then we end right where we kicked things off, very triumphant feels like he’s overcome & soon it’ll be time for the next chapter in the Cousin Cush catalog. Hopefully, it’s as ephemerally pleasing to the soul as this collection is, surely it will be.
