From the heart of Houston, Texas, rising rap artist Cuzz da Poetic Prophet is stepping forward with a voice rooted in struggle, legacy, and truth. Representing the Southeast side—one of the most dangerous areas in the city—his music isn’t just sound, it’s survival.

Cuzz da Poetic Prophet comes from a powerful lineage, proudly connected to Screwed Up Click, the legendary movement founded by DJ Screw. As part of the second generation of this iconic Houston sound, he carries the responsibility of preserving a culture that changed hip-hop forever while pushing it forward with his own message.

His artistry is shaped by real-life experiences, growing up surrounded by hardship, pain, and survival. For him, music became more than expression—it became medication.

That authenticity is fully realized in his latest release, “This World Is A Struggle,” featuring the Grammy Award-winning group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. Known for their melodic flow and timeless impact, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony bring a powerful presence to the track, helping create what Cuzz describes as a modern classic, comparable in emotional weight to their iconic hit Tha Crossroads.
