CL RECOMMENDS
CL’s Joshua Robinson recommends: In the two-and-a-half years since the release of Cordae’s debut studio album The Lost Boy, the former YBN rapper has been gradually solidifying himself in pop-culture history as an outspoken activist and respected lyricist. The Lost Boy notched the 24-year-old artist nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song at the 2020 Grammys, and although he left the ceremony without a gramophone trophy, Cordae became the people’s champion after being arrested during a peaceful Breonna Taylor protest in Louisville, Kentucky, months later. Considering that he has also been in a highly publicized relationship with renowned professional tennis player Naomi Osaka, Cordae likely has a lot to say on his forthcoming album From a Birds Eye View, which is due out via Atlantic Records on Jan. 14. In support of the record, Cordae will be bringing his From a Birds Eye View Tour to Heaven at Masquerade, giving locals a solid three weeks to memorize all his new lyrics. — JR
From the venue:
Cordae knows exactly what he wants to say. He chooses his words and phrases carefully. He tells stories with clarity and honesty. He speaks from a place of truth. That’s why the two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated gold-selling Maryland-raised rapper has quietly become one of the modern generation’s most trusted narrators, depicting life’s trials, tribulations, and triumphs with powerful and poetic perspective and without filter. Absorbing wisdom from a life-changing trip to Africa, enduring the loss of a friend gone too soon, and evolving as an artist and a man, he tells this story in widescreen technicolor on his 2021 second full-length offering, From A Bird’s Eye View [[[ART@WAR/Atlantic Records], and much more to come.
