With The Crossroads it seems that instead of releasing another collection of generic, lyrically hollow songs Cordae has returned to the authentic, relatable themes that made The Lost Boy resonate so deeply with fans.
The overall sound quality of this project is exceptional, showcasing a depth that surpasses his previous work. The production, samples, and features are fantastic.
It is beleived that the rapper did not produce the album himself but was heavily involved in making the final cuts.
This project reveals a more vulnerable and grounded side of Cordae where he pays tribute to his close family. This is a truly sincere laid-back sound grounded in soul.
What really beefs up the album is a set of artists that the rapper colaborated with, such as, Lil Wayne, Ravyn Lenae, Kanye West, Anderson Paak and Juicy J.
Final verdict: Cordae has managed to win back his fans’ love with The Crossroads, but he still has work to do to fully solidify his position. Some fans are still longing for the more aggressive energy he showcased in The Lost Boy.
