New York is a city of its own, filled with eccentric individualities. Spider Cuz is the new darling. A look back at the buzz emerging from a real New York phenomenon.
In early October, YouTube channel Sidetalk published two unlikely videos, the main protagonist of which is a man dressed as Spider-Man. He wears a NY cap, a Crips bandana and a pair of Timberlands. This man is Spider Cuz. He walks the streets of New York, shouting “F * ck Batman” and pours Hennessy on the ground to honor Pop Smoke’s memory. Obviously his style clashes and the buzz skyrockets. So much so that a few weeks ago, Spider Cuz became a rapper for a song. A drill-like diss-track, directly addressed to Batman.
The machine is on and the one who lost his job last summer is now one of the most prominent people in New York. So much so that he appeared alongside the A $ AP Mob, for the video dedicated to Yams Day 2021. A few days ago, Spider Cuz gave an interview to the media Complex. He declares in particular that after losing his job, he will use his last income to buy a costume: “I was like: ‘Damn, I have nothing more to lose, I’m buying myself a costume'”. The beginnings of his new identity were not easy. While we laughed at him in his own neighborhood, he had to go and make himself known in Manhattan. Until Sidetalk notices it, and gives it the little exposure it needs to explode.
Spider Cuz: “It’s not a costume, it’s a uniform”
Spider Cuz is an alternate version of Spider-Man. Imagine the superhero, fan of Pop Smoke and 50 Cent, perfectly integrating the codes of social networks, and this is what it could be. For now, his rare media appearances are confined to cameos in clips or commercials. But the New Yorker does not intend to stop there: “It’s a career for me. It’s not a costume. It’s a uniform. This is how I feed my family ”. While he plans to release an EP and hopes to collaborate with Fivio Foreign or Rowdy Rebel, he does not see himself as a rapper, but rather as a businessman. Only the future will be able to tell us if Spider Cuz is just another ephemeral phenomenon, or if it is gone to last and establish itself as an actor apart from the New York and American scene.
And while waiting for the next diss-track addressed to Captain America, you can follow the funny life of the American rapper on Instagram. A clever mix of hazardous disguises and schoolboy jokes.
