    ‘From A Birds Eye View’ is a true delight, revealing greater depth with each listen, and Cordae truly seems to be having fun while proving he’s here to stay.

    From A Bird’s Eye View is a fitting sequel to Lost Boy both sonically and lyrically. That lost boy is gone and in his place a self-assured artist plotting his next moves in the industry.

    A solid addition to his discography and undoubtedly more unforgettable than his debut.

    From A Birds Eye View ups the stakes in every imaginable way from his rookie outing, The Lost Boy. Still, it lacks a true it-factor, suffering from questionable songs and moments. Luckily, the emcee’s ever-growing ambitions as an artist are put on full display here—even if they haven’t been fully realized quite yet.

    Striking tone and self-confidence oozing from the first tracks, especially the four first ones. They blend perfectly into each other. TheStriking tone and self-confidence oozing from the first tracks, especially the four first ones. They blend perfectly into each other. The production is terrific concerning these four tracks but manage to remain gorgeous until the end (with few let downs however). It succeeds in its engaging proposition to offer several atmospheres and varied soundscapes.
    Speaking about Cordae's tone, it sadly becomes repetitive as it lacks in versatility. I guess that is why he chose to welcome so many featured artists. And I have to admit that most of them match with Cordae deep, colourful and rich lyrics. H.E.R.'s vocal range was not that good but her presence underlines the fact that female voices could provide promising results with Cordae's work. Lil Wayne's verse was lit, Gunna only does what he knows to do in 'Today', Stevie Wonder's performance on 'Champagne Glasses' is just marvelous and Eminem's presence is iconic on this weird two track-long second disc.
    I will patiently be waiting for more to come on Cordae's side.    … Full Review »

    Album isn't bad at all, but at some parts it feels generic and boring.
