YBN Cordae is making major moves after releasing dates for his upcoming From A Bird’s Eye View tour. The North Carolina native has been under the radar over the past year, but is back on scene with a bang!
After gaining momentum from his mixtape, Anxiety, the rap star took a hiatus from music, only appearing publicly in support of his girlfriend, tennis superstar Naomi Osaka.
The Young Boss Niggas member dropped the tour dates after releasing a music video for “Sinister,” which features Lil Wayne.
From A Bird’s Eye View
Cordae announced his sophomore album, From a Bird’s Eye View, just this past month. The project will drop on January 14 under Atlantic Records. Cordae stated in a press release the inspiration for the album was “a life-changing trip to Africa, enduring the loss of a friend gone too soon, and evolving as an artist and a man.”
His new album couldn’t come at a better time, as fans are desperate for new music after his last album was released in 2019. The Lost Boy brought Cordae two Grammy nominations; Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for single “Bad Idea.”
Making of a Star
Cordae jumped into the rap game when he moved from Maryland to Los Angeles. He gained fame in his early career for remixing legendary cuts like Eminem’s “My Name Is” and J. Cole’s “1985.”
Cordae also found himself an internet sensation after an interview with L.A. Leakers. There he showed he was a force by giving evidence to his freestyling skills over several beats.
This summer, Cordae took over a revamped version of Nas’ 1993 track “Life Is Like a Dice Game” alongside Freddie Gibbs. A feature verse from Nas solidified the approval rate of the track and release with Spotify singles.
Tickets are available now for the From a Bird’s Eye View tour. Gear up with this video, displaying his journey to the new album release.
