YBN Cordae just released his debut album, The Lost Boy. The XXL Freshman previously released the singles “Have Mercy,” “Bad Idea,” and “RNP” this year. His last solo mixtape was 2017’s I’m So Anonymous.
His lineup of notable features includes Chance the Rapper, Anderson .Paak, Ty Dolla $ign, Pusha T, Arin Ray, and Meek Mill. J. Cole, Bongo, Flippa, Kid Culture, and Nils have producing credits.
“This whole album is a journey,” YBN Cordae told Billboard. “So you noticed at the beginning, it’s ‘Wintertime.’ It’s like the beginning of the journey. ‘Have Mercy’ is when you first step into that fire on your journey. So ‘Bad Idea’ is also on that vibe. You’re looking back and with home, you can still see it from a distance, like, ‘Nah. It wouldn’t be a bad idea if I never went home again. I’m leaving the crib. I’m never going home again.’ And then, towards the end of the album, you noticed I got the jawn called ‘Way Back Home’ with Ty Dolla [$ign].”
