2nd Cousins bring a fresh energy to the hip-hop scene with a unique sound that pays respect to classic influences while adding a modern twist. Drawing inspiration from legends like the Isley Brothers, Zapp & Roger, 8Ball & MJG, UGK, Outkast, Nas, Scarface, and labels like No Limit and Cash Money, their music captures the spirit of Southern rap with a contemporary edge.
Their journey started with a love for music, recording mixtapes at Sham’s mom Brenda’s house. Originally pursuing solo careers under Deep South Entertainment, they eventually came together to form 2nd Cousins. They write all their own lyrics, sharing personal stories about family, enjoying life, and working hard to achieve their dreams.
Their latest single, “Sham and Tee Dee,” and their album 1413 highlight their evolution as artists and storytellers. Every track offers listeners an authentic glimpse into their world, creating connections through relatable experiences and genuine emotion.
With their passion and dedication, 2nd Cousins are set to make a lasting impact on hip-hop. Stay tuned for their journey and discover their unique mix of classic and modern vibes.
