Biography
Cordae Amari Dunston (August 26, 1997), known mononymously as Cordae, is an American rapper from North Carolina. Born in the city of Raleigh but raised in Suitland, Maryland, he began rapping during his teenage years under the pseudonym Entendre, inspired by old-school hip-hop acts such as Nas, Big L, and Talib Kweli. However, he didnât entertain the idea of becoming a professional rapper until 2017, when he moved to Los Angeles and became a part of the YBN collective. After changing his stage name to YBN Cordae, the young MC rose to Internet fame in 2018 with a remix of Eminemâs âMy Name Is,â followed by a response to J. Coleâs â1985â titled âOld N*ggas.â Follow-up singles âFighting Temptations,â âKung Fu,â and âScotty Pippenâ all helped establish Cordae as one of the most promising talents in the rap game as he toured the US opening for Juice Wrld and appeared on YBNâs 2018 debut mixtape YBN: The Mixtape. Preceded by the singles âHave Mercy,â âBad Idea,â and âRNP,â Cordaeâs first full-length The Lost Boy came out in 2019 and quickly climbed to Number 6 on Billboardâs Top Rap Albums chart, earning him two nominations at the 62nd Grammy Awards. Subsequently, he dropped the âYBNâ from his name following the groupâs dissolution in 2020 and soldiered on with the release of the ambitious From a Birds Eye View (2022), which featured cameos by Eminem, Stevie Wonder, and Gunna, among others. A huge leap in terms of songwriting, the album peaked at Number 4 on the US rap charts and reached Number 13 on the Billboard 200.
