Cordae is in it for longevity, not just popularity.

Fresh off of a hot performance with Anderson .Paak on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, YBN Cordae has dropped his debut project The Lost Boy. The 21-year-old rapper has been hyping this record for a while now and following his inclusion on XXL's coveted 2019 Freshman list, and his impressive cypher for the outlet, the North Carolina artist solidifies his place in the rap game with his first, true full-length.

The Lost Boy is packed with features including Chance The Rapper, Anderson .Paak, Ty Dolla $ign, Pusha T, Arin Ray, Meek Mill, and a production credit from J. Cole. From the outset, Cordae showcases his lyrical capabilities while fusing jazz, gospel, folk, and hip hop sounds throughout. "I still have so much more sh*t I'm about to do," Cordae told Billboard. "So much more sh*t I'm about to accomplish. So many more barriers that I'm about to breakthrough. I'm just tapped into my sh*t." Check it out and let us know what you think.
