Ahead of the release of From A Bird’s Eye View next week, Cordae dropped off a new freestyle over Kendrick Lamar‘s “The Heart Part 4.”

Clocking in at almost five minutes, “FABEV Freestyle” hears the young rapper look back at his career in both astonishment and appreciation. Cordae also hints that while The Lost Boy was about “finding your purpose,” fans will find “a deeper message” in From A Bird’s Eye View, along with a shoutout to the late Juice WRLD, rapping, “Before I would tour Jarad Higgins.”

In a previous interview with HYPEBEAST, Cordae shared that he has experienced a lot of growth between The Lost Boy and From A Bird’s Eye View. “As a person, I feel like I’m a lot more honest with myself,” he said. “I’m very self-reflective, self-analytical. I’m aware of being more empathetic as a human being, just having knowledge of oneself, ultimate self-confidence. What I’ve been working on now is the definiteness of action, my execution.”

Watch Cordae’s “FABEV Freestyle” above. From A Bird’s Eye View drops January 14.

Elsewhere in music, NBA YoungBoy has announced a new mixtape.
