well, given the fact that you think all hell might break loose, I'd start with him meeting one or two of these thug-life guys first in a casual setting. That probably won't go over great either...but if you drop off 5 or 10 of them at once, the group dynamics are going to heavily favor their group behavior...which is going to alienate your cousin and piss him off. So, if you're really wanting to pad this situation out, let him meet some of these guys in a situation which will humanize them for him. Could be something as simple as sitting around playing video games.
Sounds like you're adapting to a new social setting, and your cousin hasn't had to make that type of move yet. I can see bad things coming out of this, but likely it will all be well in the long run.
