Last week, Dreamville’s very own Cozz just unleashed a brand new EP for fans titled Fortunate, which boasts seven tracks and a sole feature from YG. Leading up to the release, Cozz prepped fans with singles like the title track and “Addicted.” To keep the momentum going, the California rapper now drops off the official visual for “Cry.” On the track, Cozz unloads some honest thoughts:
I’m tired of drive-bys and n***as with no drive/ That’s down to ride and ridin’, bringin’ down my environment/ Can’t walk to the store to buy vitamins without my iron in the fresh shirt that’s ironed/ ‘Cause if I’m dyin’, then I’m flyin’ into heaven, and pressin’ if it ain’t my time yet
Unfortunately, the project’s release didn’t go as smoothly as planned. The track list was initially presented out of order on streaming services, which hindered the intended listening experience that Cozz wanted fans to receive. “Cry” was supposed to be the intro for the project. “I’m fortunate to be able to say it’s here. Things didn’t go as planned as far as the order of the tracks but as of now they’re fixed on all platforms,” he writes to his fans. “Cry was supposed/is the intro to this ep so in honor of shit being fixed here’s the cry video. This one means a lot to me.”
Cozz’s last official full-length body of work was 2018’s Effected, and before that was Cozz & Effect. In the meantime, he could be heard dishing out show-stopping verses on the infamous Revenge of the Dreamers compilations. On that set, he handles “LamboTruck” with Reason and Childish Major, as well as “1993” with J. Cole, JID, EarthGang, Buddy, and Smino, and more.
