Cordae Brags Unrelentingly About His Success On His Latest Single, ‘Super’
Cordae is more than two years removed releasing his Grammy-nominated debut album, The Lost Boy. The project cemented his place in hip-hop and left fans looking forward to more from the DMV rapper. The wait for a new full-length project from Cordae is almost over as he is currently preparing to release his sophomore album, From A Birds Eye View. Before that arrives, the rapper returns with “Super,” a hard-hitting effort that finds him bragging unrelentingly about his riches and success.
The wait for From A Birds Eye View has been far from grueling as Cordae made sure to keep his fans happy with new music over the past couple of years. Examples include his Just Until EP from earlier this year as it delivered four songs with features from Young Thug and Q-Tip. His other releases from the past two years include “Gifted” with Roddy Ricch and “The Parables.”
More recently, Cordae looked to build up anticipation for his sophomore album with a freestyle over Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy.” On it, he warned that fans are “not ready” for what’s in store with the upcoming project as he laid sharp bars during a recent livestream on Twitch with gamer Adin Ross.

Cordae Tells Fans They Are ‘Not Ready’ For His New Album In A Freestyle Over Drake’s ‘Way 2 Sexy’
Cordae released his debut album The Lost Boy a little over two years ago, and fans haven’t stopped clamoring for a follow-up since. Among those fans are starstruck veterans of the game like Lil Wayne, who offered to feature on the younger rapper’s next album, and Jadakiss, who recently praised Cordae in the most recent episode of The Shop, where he appeared alongside Cordae’s girlfriend, tennis champion Naomi Osaka.
Cordae teased the upcoming follow-up to The Lost Boy during a recent livestream on Twitch with gamer Adin Ross, freestyling over the beat to Drake’s recently released, tongue-in-cheek hit single, “Way 2 Sexy.” “Every year, I look more richer and sexy / Stackin’ my Millie, that Richard is heavy / My album is coming, you n****s ain’t ready,” he raps. Ross seems suitably impressed, exclaiming “Oh my god!” as Cordae drops punchline after punchline without missing a beat. You can watch the video courtesy of Cordae’s Hi-Level Records Twitter.

Meanwhile, fans who’ve been impatiently waiting for that follow-up album have still gotten plenty of new material this year, including his Just Until EP, his feature on Eminem’s “Killer” remix, Nas’ Spotify single “Life Is Like A Dice Game,” and Cordae’s single, “Taxes.”

Cordae Plots An eSports-Focused ‘Kickin’ It With Cordae’ Campus Tour
DMV area rapper Cordae has been busy cooking up the follow-up to his Grammy-nominated debut album The Lost Boy but starting next week, he’ll be taking a break to head to college — that is, on his Kickin’ It With Cordae HBCU campus tour in partnership with nonprofit Cxmmunity and Coca-Cola. In addition to previewing new music in live performances at each of the schools in question, he’ll also be participating in one of many college students’ favorite pastimes: Gaming.
Partnering with each school’s Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference eSports program, Cordae will host a “Gaming, Music And Conversations With Cordae” discussion as well as competing with students in games directly. It’s a nifty tie-in to his rise to fame, which was boosted by his association with the YBN crew, which started as a group of online gamers who eventually decided to make music together. It also dovetails nicely with Cordae’s established involvement in educational initiatives, especially those focused on HBCUs.
Earlier this summer, Cordae partnered with Disney Dreamers Academy and ESPN’s The Undefeated by funding scholarships for HBCU students. Growing up as he did in Suitland, Maryland, he was relatively close to renowned institutions like Howard University (which is also one of his tour stops), which could have had a big impact on him in establishing the importance of education. You can check out the tour dates below.
