Relatives & Cousins Vol. 1: The Story Behind the Sound

Written By Yannick Koffi

The wait is over.
Today marks the debut of the Relatives & Cousins Vol. 1 documentary trailer—a glimpse into a music project powered by collaboration, culture, and cutting-edge technology. Created by Thurz and Party In My Living Room (PIMLR) in partnership with Suno, this isn’t just an album. It’s a movement.

🎧 The Album Is Out Now

What started as a 3-day camp became a 21-track double album, blending soulful anthems and backyard-function bangers. Disc 1 taps into the West Coast function, while Disc 2 moves with depth and soul. The sessions were part live jam, part AI experiment—leveraging Suno’s generative music tools to build tracks from scratch, sample by sample, with artists jumping in and out like jazz musicians in a cipher.

🎬 The Doc Is Just the Beginning

Starting with today’s trailer, we’ll be releasing a new episode each week documenting the process—what it took to bring together this many voices, this much talent, and this level of intentionality.

In the trailer, you’ll see glimpses of Cocoa Sarai’s vocal mastery, Chuck Inglish flipping loops with ease, Bart Oatmeal (Baron Davis) leaning into the booth, Ill Camille crafting bars in the moment, and Thurz orchestrating it all like a conductor channeling community spirit.

🔥 Why It Matters

Relatives & Cousins is about building with your people. It’s about resourceful creativity, storytelling from the block to the booth, and defining the future of music without compromise. By merging AI tools with Black cultural ingenuity, this project reflects a new kind of ecosystem—one rooted in intention, freedom, and family.

Stay tapped in. This is history in real-time.
