Paramount, CA’s Chozin is a hidden gem. He has proven over the course of several singles that his lyrical prowess, relatability, and technical skill are to be respected, and ought to be cherished by critics and consumers alike. Aurora: Set 1 is a jazzy extended-play offering from the rapper who engages in a great deal of storytelling and introspection over the course of two tracks and an interlude. His sleepy delivery and nonchalant tone at many points relax the already sedated atmosphere, but his more heavily involved flows can quickly take that vibe to new heights.
