Presently, Cossom is in studio preparing for the release of his debut album. The lead single, Baby I Like It, features P. Diddy and Fabolous.
Cossom grew up in Orlando, Florida, an only child to a single mother - an educator and founder of a performing arts academy. She encouraged him to perform his first solo at the age of three. While his exposure to secular music was limited, Cossom was able to hone his skills singing in his gospel church choir. At six, he joined his first group, a gospel act assembled by his mother and at 14, formed a short-lived singing group with friends. Three years later, he began to build a reputation as a songwriter and singer with the help of his manager, Rashad Tyler.
In 2004, after a meeting with 50 Cent at his Connecticut mansion, Cossom was asked to write and record a hook for a song that G-Unit Records member Lloyd Banks was working on. This resulted in Karma – a hit single on Banks’ debut album, The Hunger for More. Though Cossom was replaced by Avant on the video and radio versions of the single, through this encounter, he received his first songwriting credit.
After returning home, Cossom met Orlando-based hip-hop production duo, The Runners, through a mutual DJ friend. Within a year, they asked Cossom to assist with a song they were producing for Young Jeezy's album, The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102. He went on to pen the hook for Jeezy’s hit single Go Getta featuring R. Kelly which ultimately led to Cossom securing a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music. Through this deal, Cossom was introduced to Grammy Award-winning producer, Danja, to write for a girl group that he was producing for. The two developed a chemistry that led to Cossom being the first artist signed to the producer's N.A.R.S. record label.
Since joining forces with Danja, Cossom has gone on to lend vocals to and write and arrange for several artists throughout the music industry and most recently, has written material for Justin Bieber.
In November 2009, Cossom released Hook vs. Bridge, an extended EP with production from Danja and The Runners (among others) and features from artists including Drake, Rick Ross and Pusha T.
In March 2011, Cossom released his mixtape, By Any Means, where he teams up once again with Danja. The Runners and Rick Ross adding features from J. Cole, Ace Hood and more.

And I was like Ooww, she said oowww

Go on finish up your drink
And stop runnin your mouth
Tell your girls see ya later

SNOOP DOGG's Verse
Come on baby let me talk to ya for a minute..

Kick them heels off

The song "Relax" by Kevin Cossom is a sultry, smooth R&B track that details the singer's desire to spend the night with a woman he meets at a club. The lyrics, filled with double entendres and suggestive statements, convey the singer's confidence and charisma as he attempts to woo the woman. The opening verse describes the woman's physical appearance, with her blue dress and flowing hair making her stand out in the crowd. He notes that she is aware of her attractiveness and is the personification of sensuality. The chorus talks about how the singer wants to "turn you inside out," but needs to get the woman alone to do so. He persuades her to leave the club, promising that he has a place where they can relax and be themselves.
In the second verse, Snoop Dogg adds his own splash of charm and wit to the track. His verse uses a mix of playful wordplay and direct come-ons to show his own fondness for the woman; he's impressed by her curves, and she seems to be just as attracted to him.
Overall, "Relax" is a seductive and alluring track that plays to the sexual desires of its listeners. The smooth vocals and suggestive lyrics make for an enjoyable listen, but it also showcases the confidence and appeal of its singers.
