Embracing a sound that seats him in a class of his own, Cozz’s skill and unique LA feel gained him the attention of rapper J.Cole, later recruiting him as the newest artist on the Dreamville label in 2014. Recognizing the high quality and replay value of his demo tape, Dreamville later decided to release ‘Cozz and Effect’ to be packaged and distributed for sale. By 2016, Cozz crafted his first free mixtape under the Dreamville label titled “Nothing Personal”. Incorporating the talents of his self- owned label ‘Tha Committee’, the project featured full production from label housed producer Meez, as well as appearances from label acts Corey C and Free Ackrite.
