Starting off the new year, I.S.L.M. brings you more local music from Bonney Lake, WA’s, own Cousin J. If you are looking for an indie artist who write’s radio friendly style music, be sure to check him out. He has released a 7 track, [EP] titled, “Grown Up”, with beats produced by Undercaste Studios own, Teal Douville. Teal has always had a knack for pop/rnb styled production (not limited to those styles). Cousin J shows his versatility with catchy hooks and double time rap. While several guest features from Sean Carson, Trace, J Da Trackman and Lotis, assist with completion of the [EP].

By far, my favorite track is Grown Up, which features Sean Carson on the hook singing, “Now that you’re all grown up, I’ma take your pretty a** on a ride with me, we ain’t gotta make love, we ain’t gotta do that, I just want what’s in those jeans. Cause every time, I see you shawty lookin’ real bad, Every-Every time, I see you shawty lookin’ so bad, Every-Every time, I see you shawty lookin’ real bad, Every-Every time, I see you shawty lookin’ so bad.” By the end of this hook, you are captivated by the vocal arrangement. Look forward to more music, as Cousin J is about to drop the full length “Grown Up” album later this year (source via his facebook page).
