Cordae

Maryland rapper YBN Cordae freestyles over Nina Simone’s September 1959 track, “Wild Is the Wind.” On the track, Cordae touches on a variety of issues, such as his difficult upbringing, his disdain for the justice system in the United States, and his powerful lyricism.

The song was released along with his debut album Anxiety, but serves as the only song that samples a classic R&B track.
