Cozz & Effect is the debut studio album by American rapper Cozz. It was released on October 3, 2014, through Dreamville/Interscope Records. Production was handled by Meez, Trauma Tone, Divenchi and Mike Adam. It features guest appearances from Bas, Enimal, Free Akrite and J. Cole.
The album received acclaim upon its release, with critics highly praising Cozz's rhyme schemes and lyrical themes along with the production. Justin Hunte of HipHopDX wrote: "Cozz's shifting rhyme schemes impress throughout Cozz & Effect. He'll enter a track bombastically off-kilter, stumble into a separate topic four-bars-in, and then lyrically wreck shop the rest of the way", and "Cozz & Effect serves as passport to the conversation. It's brash, passionate, and lyrically impressive enough to anticipate the future—an emphatic win for all involved".[2] Mike Philson of HotNewHipHop wrote: "Cozz has a lot of upside, and proves he is as fine a wordsmith as any other young rapper in the game on Cozz & Effect. We're looking forward to him exhibit a bit more range as an artist, as can only come with more life experiences. It's a solid project if you're a fan of raw lyrical ability. Cozz definitely represented J. Cole's label well, as Cozz is a rapper's rapper, a hip-hop purist, with the whole world at his fingertips".[3]
