The two-time Grammy-nominated rapper champions the power of discipline, which you can watch now.

It goes without saying that Cordae is one of the most intelligent and aspirational rappers currently in the game. And yet, critics and certain types of rap fans ignore just how potent his impact on hip hop has been.

Thankfully, the two-time Grammy-nominated rapper has found a platform with TED Talk to showcase how important “The Hi Level Mindset” can be to those interested in achieving their dreams.

The informative, yet humorous almost 13-minute discussion details his growth as an artist and champions the power of discipline. He goes from his days as a high school kid, getting into trouble, and crafting his blueprint toward success.

“The Hi Level Mindset” sees Cordae making the case for doing everything that you can to place yourself in the right moments by having an extreme work ethic.

Cordae’s TED Talk premiere follows the release of his acclaimed sophomore album, From a Birds Eye View, which was inspired deeply by a life-changing trip to Africa, the loss of a friend, and evolving as a chart-topping and genre-redefining artist.

The album has been celebrated so much to where Cordae will now embark on a massive world tour that includes him hitting the festival circuit at places such as Lollapalooza, Breakaway Music Festival, and Firefly, and there is high anticipation for a new single or project from Cordae, which we hope comes before the year’s end.
