Early life
[edit]Dunston was born inRaleigh, North Carolina,he lived on W.

As he got older, he would do research on artists through YouTube, attempting to find music like his father played.[7]As Dunston grew older, he became more interested in pursuing a rap career. He prioritized his studies, but often became distracted by writing lyrics. He graduated from high school in 2015 and decided to go to college atTowson University.He dropped out in 2018, explaining that college was "bigger than him" as a first-generation student, and he was mainly doing it for his mother. He moved to Los Angeles shortly afterward.[8]

[edit]He released three mixtapes as a teenager under the name Entendre:Anxiety(2014),I'm So Anxious(2016), andI'm So Anonymous(2017).[9][10][11]
Cordae began taking his rap career seriously in early 2018. When visiting Los Angeles, he hung aroundYBN Nahmirand YBN Almighty Jay, whom he'd met through social media. Nahmir had reached out to Cordae after hearing a song Dunston made with his brother Simba.[12][13]Dunston is the only member of YBN who hadn't been introduced through video games. He said he already felt like a part of YBN, and so changed from "Entendre" to "YBN Cordae". He also said that Entendre had been a name that he'd wanted to change for while: "I was just always around Nahmir and shit, those were just like my brothers... And, I was thinking, yo, I need to change my shit to like, Cordae, and shit, my actual first name. I was already" YBN "without the social tag".[7]
In May 2018, Cordae released his first single, which he called his "introduction to the world": a remix of the 1999 song "My Name Is"byEminem.He released the song along with a music video viaWorldStarHipHopon YouTube. He then released "Old Niggas" as a response to "1985" by J. Cole, followed by the tracks "Fighting Temptations" and "Kung Fu".[14][15][16]

In March, he released "Have Mercy",the lead single from his debut studio album,The Lost Boy.[24]He was named as one of the members ofXXL's"2019 Freshman Class" on June 20.[25]Cordae released "Bad Idea"and"RNP"as the second and third singles from the album,[26][27]and finally the album itself on July 26, 2019.[28]The album landed YBN Cordae two nominations at the62nd Grammy Awards:Best Rap AlbumandBest Rap Songfor the single "Bad Idea".[4]In November, YBN Cordae announced that he would be headlining "The Lost Boy in America Tour", which began in January 2020.[29]

Musical style and influences
[edit]Cordae listsNas,Jay-Z,Kid Cudi,Kanye West,Eminem,Capital Steez,Lil Wayne,J. Cole,Big L,Travis Scott,andKendrick Lamaras some of his biggest influences.[42]Shortly after the release ofThe Lost Boy,he said his five favorite rappers wereJay-Z,Nas,2Pac,The Notorious B.I.G.,andBig L.He has called Nas' albumIt Was Writtena big influence.[43]He has repeatedly said that, given his musical background and understanding of old school hip-hop and what hip-hop is evolving into, he can be the key in bridging the generational gap in hip-hop.[44][45][46]
Respect Magazineopined in 2018 on Dunston’s trajectory as a rapper. "He is a mix of the old and new school, and the deliverance and perception of his music sets himself apart from the new generation of rappers these days. We get a clear glimpse of this in his music videos for" Old N*ggas, "'My Name Is,' and 'Kung Fu,' which all have over 5 million views on YouTube. He is building a solid buzz for himself day by day, and letting the world know his bars and rhymes are ahead of his time. He has yet to drop a project proving such."[47]
Revolt TV said in 2018, "There's always going to be artists who go against the grain and manage to generate conversation without being mundane or routine. Cordae is the result of perfect timing, a need for change and managing to bridge the gap between aesthetic and talent. He's the Gohan of the YBN collective, appearing docile and juvenile but displaying a 'mastery' over words that seems at odds with old-school" hip-hoppers "belief about his age group. It is yet to be seen if his talent warrants the praise he's receiving."[48]
Personal life
[edit]Before leaving college, Cordae worked at a localT.G.I. Friday'sin Maryland. He toldAdam22of No Jumper that he "hated" it and that he always knew he was destined for more.[49]
