Cordae "From a Bird's Eye View" (Album Stream)


From a Birds Eye View is Cordae’s sophomore studio album, which follows the Maryland rapper’s phenomenal 2019 debut album, The Lost Boy. After announcing it on his birthday, Cordae dropped the Roddy Ricch-assisted single “Gifted,” on August 27, 2020 alongside a Cole Bennett-directed music video as the album’s first single. Nearly two months after the release of “Gifted,” he dropped “The Parables,” though its the song's remix that appears as a bonus track on the album featuring Eminem. Cordae’s first release of 2021 took the form of April’s JUST UNTIL…, a four-track EP intended as a teaser for the album. On its cover, Cordae hints at the project’s impending release: See you soon, album almost done. –Cordae. On December 3, he released the project’s final single, the Lil Wayne-assisted “Sinister.” Just days later, on December 8, he revealed the album’s title, artwork, and release date of January 14, 2022, parodying Steve Jobs' reveal of the iPhone from 2007. The Q-Tip track, "More Life," got heavy burn off JUST UNTIL..., and the track "Jean-Michael" off From a Bird's Eye View has been getting equal rotation for me. I said he was one to watch several years back, and the success of his music is all the proof needed. Check his new LP below...
