Cordae Amari Brooks (né Dunston; born August 26, 1997), known mononymously as Cordae (formerly YBN Cordae and Entendre), is an Multi-Platinum, Emmy Award winning, Grammy nominated American rapper. He began his career as a member of the hip hop collective YBN.[3]
His debut studio album, The Lost Boy (2019) peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and was met with critical acclaim, also receiving two Grammy Award nominations: Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for its single, "Bad Idea" (featuring Chance the Rapper) at the 62nd Grammy Awards.[4] Following the group's disbandment, he dropped the "YBN" from his stage name in 2020. His second studio album, From a Birds Eye View (2022) saw a matched chart position and similar critical reception.
