I was already “YBN” before the social tag. In May 2018, he released his first single, which was his “introduction into the world”. He released it as a remix of Eminem’s 1999 song “My Name Is”, along with a video via WorldStarHipHop. He released “Old Niggas” as a response “1985” by J. Cole. Then he released Fighting Temptations, and Kung Fu.

On January 28, 2019, Cordae released a music video for a new song titled, “Locationships” on his YouTube channel before releasing another song titled, “Have Mercy” in March 2019, with the latter song becoming the lead single from his debut studio album, The Lost Boy.

Dunston was born in Raleigh (North Carolina) and moved to Suitland (Maryland). He was a young boy who had an early interest in music. His father would play classic hip-hop around him and he would listen to it. At the age of 15, he began to write raps, but it was a hobby. He was influenced by the music of his father and would search YouTube for similar artists, trying to find the right music, and then “getting lost” at the recommended videos section. As he grew older, Dunston became more interested in rapping, but he remained focused on his education. Although writing lyrics would often distract him from his studies, he continued to pursue a career in the industry. As a teenager, he released three mixtapes under the name Entendre – Anxiety (2014) and I’m so Anxious (2016). He also recorded I’m so Anonymous (2017). In 2015, he graduated high school and chose Towson University to attend college. He later dropped out of college in 2018, explaining that college was more important than him as a first generation student and that he was doing it mostly for his mother. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles.

Dunston was a participant in the Black Lives Matter protest of 2016, where he rapped about the struggles he had and the issues that he noticed in his community. He worked as a T.G.I. before he left college. Adam22 of No Jumper asked him Friday about Friday’s in Maryland. He explained that he hated it and knew that he was meant for more. He is currently in a relationship with Naomi Osaka, a Haitian-Japanese tennis star.

Revolt TV explained, “There’s always going to be artists who go against the grain and manage to generate conversation without being mundane or routine. YBN 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.”
