Cordae has graced the NPR Tiny Desk (Home) Concert stage with a setlist combining some of his best tracks from The Lost Boy and From A Bird’s Eye View.

The seven-track setlist clocked in at about 20 minutes and hears Cordae perform the From A Bird’s Eye View numbers “C Carter,” “Want From Me,” “Sinister,” which originally features Lil Wayne and “Chronicles” which features H.E.R. and Lil Durk. Longtime fans will also be treated with The Lost Boy’s “RNP” featuring Anderson. Paak and a medley of “Thousand Words” and “Thanksgiving.”

Prior to the release of the album, the young rapper shared a statement of gratitude to his listeners and a little message:

“Each individual song has a significant place in my heart as they were all inspired by real life events, emotions and experiences. With that being said I ask ya’ll to please listen to songs 1-12 (Shilohs Intro-Westlake High) from top to bottom with no pauses, skips or interruptions. As this is the way it was intended to be listened to, especially the first time around. As a complete body of work. Thank you kindly for your ears and support. Love!”
