when From a Birds Eye View dropped a lot of people shared disappointment, or at least thought it wasn’t as good as The Lost Boy. cordae saw this criticism and said that the fans were right and it wasn’t as good and he will make sure his next album will be better. instead of just being an empty promise, cordae actually lives up to his promise and improves on basically every aspect, dropping his BEST album. score soon (after math exam

i find it funny that 2 DMV-based rappers have rapped on the same sample (cordae on saturday mornings and logic on breath control)
