The Maryland-raised GRAMMY nominated and EMMY Award winning artist Cordae relentlessly puts in work, pursuing a rare level of excellence and achieving it with each subsequent release. Cordae approaches his artistry with hunger and intention, ensuring every word, beat, and moment matters. He has personified a universal underdog story, rising up out of poverty to towering heights of stardom. Among many accolades, he has received three GRAMMY® Award nominations in addition to garnering an EMMY® Award for his contributions to the children's series We the People, produced by President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Kenya Barris. His Multi-Platinum catalog includes 2019's milestone debut album, The Lost Boy and 2022's From A Birds Eye View - both of which made top 15 debuts on the Billboard 200 - along with such hit singles as "Have Mercy," "Broke As Fuck," and "Kung Fu." At the same time, he has ignited collaborations with everyone from Eminem to Stevie Wonder and H.E.R. Most recently, Cordae has released several new singles ahead of the release of his upcoming new album "The Crossroads". "Saturday Mornings" featuring Lil Wayne, "Summer Drop" featuring Anderson .Paak, "Syrup Sandwiches" featuring Joey Bada$$, and "Mad As Fuck" have all been met with praise from fans as they eagerly await the full 16 track album. Whether it be sharing the screen with Academy® Award-winning director Martin Scorsese in a Super Bowl commercial, leading a popular TED Talk, or selling out shows worldwide, Cordae has entrenched himself at the forefront of popular culture on his own terms. Last year saw Cordae land his highest entry on the Billboard "Hot 100" with an internet-breaking appearance alongside the late Juice WRLD on Lyrical Lemonade's hit single, "Doomsday," executive produced by Cole Bennett and accompanied by a groundbreaking companion video now exceeding 16M views. Now, with the impending arrival of The Crossroads, Cordae is poise to ascend to greater musical heights than ever before.

Words connect us. They comprise the stories we pass down from one generation to the next. Ultimately, they pull us closer together and enable us to empathize. YBN Cordae recognizes, respects, and reveres the verbal potential for unity. Acrobatic raps, cinematic wordplay, and nimble rhymes cement the Maryland-raised and Los Angeles-based MC as a consummate 21st century storyteller. This status would be affirmed by 200 million streams within a year and a place at the forefront of hip-hop's modern vanguard as a 2019 XXL "Freshman Class" cover star, among other accolades.
Now, he employs the full power of language on his full-length debut, The Lost Boy [Atlantic Records].
"Words are the foundation for human communication," he explains. "That's how we connect. I'm just telling my story on a human level. I'm talking about the things I've gone through and seen others go through in my environment. It's all me."
