North Carolina artist, Josh Cozy, talks the release of his latest album, It’s Prolly Too Late! His last project Black Smilez, was definitely a great EP, but Josh turns it up a notch with this project. You can definitely hear the growth from the last project to this one, and when speaking about what separates this project from his previous, Josh says,
“Maturity. Me, Stepping into who I want to be even more. Investing into the craft. Sound quality, production and overall lyrical content/storytelling. I worked really hard on this one. Had to grind it out! It feels special.”

The title itself is relatable to what's been going on in the past year with the pandemic, and people trying to find themselves and recreate themselves despite the circumstances.
“I’ve been in a phase of life where I personally counted myself out just due to all the chaos going on outside in a way. I felt like it’s been self sabotage in a sense. This year 2021... it’s been a great start for me on all levels. I’m finally getting back to myself. So the project ‘It’s prolly too late’ stemmed from that.”

The project features 10 tracks, and each track is fire. This is a no skips project that you can play in the car and just vibe to. It’s hard to pick a favorite track but our personal favorite is the final track “Of Me”, as Josh finishes off this project with a bang.
“Must listen is definitely ‘Change for you’ and I say that because I believe we’ve all been there before. At some point, we’ve all dealt with the rocky relationship/situationship or whatever you may want to call it.
Favorite track probably is ‘These Feelings’ featuring Jae Breeze. He actually gave me that track and just the overall content up there. Speaking on family and mental dealings. It was a release!”
Josh Cozy speaks his truth on every track, discussing overcoming relationship issues, and everyday issues. When speaking on the overall message of the project, Josh says,
“Most importantly, on ‘Of Me’ which is the outro of the project, I spoke freely on never casting yourself out of things. While you breathing, still here.... we got the time. It’s never too late to take a shot at things in life. Choose your perspective and navigate best you can.”
Every project Josh Cozy drops speaks about growth and listening to each track, you can definitely see the evolution in his music as well as overall maturity. As far as what we can expect from him in the future:
“Continuing to drop music/visual content all year long! Super excited for these videos from the project that are on the way! I feel they bring it to life even more!”

“We go through so much, and we always see pain = success and nah. Like, I wanted to show we can smile and win too.”

North Carolina artist, Josh Cozy dropped his new EP Black Smilez!
The title of this EP stemmed from overall what I wanted to see/reflect onto others. Black Smilez, cause yo.... we go through so much, we always see pain = success and nah. Like, I wanted to show we can smile and win too. Everything doesn’t have to be a bad story before greater things.
The project features 8 tracks that you can run through with no skips. It has a feel good feeling and a good vibe that you can measure in similarity to a Goldlink project. It’s been a minute since he dropped his last project Only If You Knew, and when asked what separates this project from the last he says,
Happiness. Production. Quality.
I haven’t made anything with this type of quality before. From writing, to engineering, to beat selection. I really stepped my game up on this one and the people surrounding me. My team Black Smilez, they helped out so damn much. My boy Jae crafted the final thing so well.
Every track is dope in its own right but one stands out from the others and that’s “Doves” feat. Depore Grenade & Techsolo which will have you playing it on repeat. It has that 90s Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde type vibe. “Your Honey” feat. Nijah Brunea, Danielle P Williams & Drew Prince is also a vibe that can’t be missed on this project.
Doves! That joint is super fly. The hook by my boy Depore is just amazing vocally. My homie techsolo hopped up there and rode that beat beautifully. I think it came together super super well. Overall the people’s fave so far numbers wise also. I enjoyed the production and witty bars from it!
With all of the craziness going on around us in the world, this project comes out in perfect timing providing some positive relief. You can definitely see the growth in his overall production on his tracks and his delivery.
I’m 100% happier finishing this and listening straight through. The work and restarts that went into this. The overthinking. The constant traveling needed to get tracks done. The daily FT calls to adjust things within the tracks. All things I wouldn’t change because I thoroughly enjoyed. I’m super proud of this. Proud of my homies around me who helped and I really hope this impacts people the way it did me.
If you’ve been following his music, you have noticed the name change from Joshua Sheeran to Josh Cozy. Often times we see artists early in their careers rebrand themselves for better marketing.
Joshua Sheeran to Josh Cozy was really more so a marketing stand point. I felt the Cozy thing had better branding for me individually and would get me away from the ‘EdSheeran’ traffic and things. Also, it felt like a fresh start. A rebrand. A whole newness in who I wanted to be as an artist. I feel now I’m really gonna push all my artistic boundaries and enjoy this.
Josh Cozy always comes through with some dope vibes and it won’t be surprising if you start to hear this artist playing on mainstream radios across the country soon. You can tell that he is authentic in what he says on his music as he discusses relatable topics and his beat selection is always A1. Download the project on apple music and stream it below!

Question: What was your inspiration for the title of this project?
The title ‘Only if you knew’ was curated from ideas of feeling misconceived. Like, I’m always the one looked at for joy, smiles, good family, financially situated and having everything together. But that’s not the case at all. So far from the perfection they see in me. Only if they knew what it takes to even be happy most days and even try.
Question: What do you feel is a song that people MUST listen to on this project?
The intro, ‘Only if you knew’ and the track ‘Issues’. Both of these have problems that have plagued me and followed me around for awhile now. I finally broke those curses. Also, honorable mention to ‘rain, 2019’ that was like everything I needed to hear, from myself.
Question: How did you generate ideas for the songs on this EP?
Literally every song was from a piece of my life. Every single moment happened, all joy, all the pain, all the good and all the glory. It all happened. I’m thankful to be able to make it through those storms.
Question: What separates this project from your past projects?
My vulnerability. Everything previously written kinda related to my life but not on such a personal level like this. These tracks talk about me head on. Before it was me skating around topics but to move on in life, I felt these things had to be said/written/performed/recorded. Not to lay in these thoughts but to grow up.
