Words that rhyme with Kush
As a one-syllable word, kush sits on the unrounded /ส/ and spills into a fricative. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. From the rhyme-data side: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from.

Why kush rhymes the way it does
The phonology of kush is a one-syllable core: the central /ส/ (/ส/), then it spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 15, assonance 3,456, and consonance 147. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Kush rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
