AWARD-WINNING SUPERSTARS’ THIRD J. COLE-PRODUCED COLLABORATION HERALDS CORDAE’S EAGERLY AWAITED NEW ALBUM, THE CROSSROADS, ARRIVING LATER THIS YEAR
3x GRAMMY® Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning rapper Cordae is joining forces once again with 8x GRAMMY® Award-winner Anderson .Paak for the brand new single, “Summer Drop (Feat. Anderson .Paak),” available now via ART@WAR/Atlantic Records. Produced like their two previous hit collaborations by 2x GRAMMY® Award-winner J. Cole, the track is joined by an official music video, directed by Samba and streaming now at YouTube.
“Summer Drop (Feat. Anderson .Paak)” heralds the arrival of Cordae’s hugely anticipated third album, The Crossroads, arriving at long last later this year. The track marks the third collaboration from Cordae and Anderson .Paak, following last year’s smash “Two Tens (Feat. Anderson .Paak)” – accompanied by an official music video with 8.56M YouTube views HERE – and 2019’s RIAA Platinum-certified “RNP (Feat Anderson .Paak).”
This summer saw the release of Cordae’s first new single in almost one year, “Saturday Mornings (Feat. Lil Wayne),”. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Boogz (Kanye West, Travis Scott, Drake & 21 Savage), the track was immediately met by critical applause, with HYPEBEAT declaring it “a classically Cordae offering” and HotNewHipHop raving, “From the extremely soulful production to the rappers’ effortless change in tone, this song has it all. The pen game is also on point, as Cordae and Weezy have some great messages about wanting to be around authentic people in life, but also in the rap industry.” An official music video – directed by longtime collaborator APLUS (Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar) – boasts over 4M views via YouTube.
