Jordan Moreau Cordae helped heat up a frigid New York City on Sunday night with a blend of fiery bars and slow-cooked jams delivered to a packed room at Webster Hall.The 24-year-old rapper is currently in the middle of an international tour for “From a Birds Eye View,” his second studio release and first after the doubly Grammy-nominated “The Lost Boy.” Despite his youth and the ongoing pandemic, the Gen-Z favorite drew a sold-out crowd of mostly high-schoolers and twenty-somethings ready to vibe out to feel-good songs like “Want From Me” and “C Carter,” and to jump around to pumped-up hits like “Broke as Fuck” and “Have Mercy.”Cordae has been building a following for years, first as a member of the rap group YBN and more recently as a solo artist.
Though he made some hits alongside founders YBN Nahmir and YBN Almighty Jay, Cordae always seemed destined for more. He made arguably the best decision of his nascent career to drop the YBN from his name, all while keeping his expert-level flows, clever wordplay and earnest lyrics about his upbringing.
With “The Lost Boy” in summer 2019, Cordae came out of the gate strong, receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews and Grammy nominations for best rap album and rap song for “Bad Idea.” Before releasing his follow-up, “From a Birds Eye View,” in January, he made c-suite moves and launched his own record label Hi Level, which he describes as “a family and way of life” that produces art of the highest level.
Before Cordae hit the stage, hip-hop group BLK ODYSSY and R&B singer Justine Skye warmed up Webster Hall, which was already packed full with an eager crowd.
