One month after teaming up with Amine for the official “BLACKJACK” remix, YBN Cordae sets his sights back on his career by dropping a new solo single, “Have Mercy.” Notably, “Have Mercy” features YBN Cordae’s acrobatic bars over production cooked up by Nils, Kid Culture, Flippa, as well as mixing and mastering from Mixed By Ali.

“Why cry over spilled milk if you still feel I’m the real deal? / My bitch bad with no ill-will ’cause she’ll murk a n***a like Kill Bill / Loose slips sink ships, Cam’ron pink drip, that is my fashion / I’m not really with the high flashin’, it’s no helpin’ with my braggin,” YBN Cordae nimbly spits on “Have Mercy.” “I penetrate it, been the greatest / New house, renovate it / I got the juice, you eliminated / Pussy n***as always instigatin’ / Can’t fuck me over, boy, I’m too clever / That applies all to whoever / I’m just here to pursue pleasure / Boy, I’m goin’ out like Hugh Hefner.”

You can stream YBN Cordae’s latest single “Have Mercy” above, and expect much more from the young rapper in the coming months. Last year, CORDAE also contributed heavily to YBN’s official group project, YBN: The Mixtape.
