- cuz check65%
A casual check-in directed at someone you address as cuz — a term of familiar address used widely in Black American slang and spread through hip-hop culture. Dropping a cuz check is the conversational equivalent of a well-being ping: you are establishing contact, seeing what is good, and affirming the relationship with the address itself. The cuz check can be a text, a DM, or a shoutout — what matters is the warmth baked into the acknowledgment. It signals genuine closeness rather than transactional communication.
