Anderson .Paak

Cordae

<p>Fresh off of the release of his new <a href="/profile/andersonpaak" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Anderson .Paak</a>-assisted single, Cordae says more is to come from the dynamic duo. This week,<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/624939-cordae-anderson-paak-reunite-over-j-cole-production-on-two-tens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the pair dropped &#8220;Two Tens,&#8221; </a>an applause-worthy collaboration that hosts a production by <a href="/profile/JCole" class="text-word" target="_blank" >J. Cole</a>. Cordae and .Paak&#8217;s talents collided once before in <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/249600-hnhh-tidal-wave-ybn-cordae-dominates-with-big-sean-megan-thee-stallion-and-more-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2019 on &#8220;RNP,&#8221;</a> so it was only fitting that they joined forces once again.</p>



<p>Cordae recently spoke with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 about his relationship with .Paak. &#8220;You know what, it&#8217;s because this is really my friend,&#8221; the rapper said. &#8220;He’s really like, my real friend, like my brother. Other artists be like, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s my brother,&#8217; or, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s my man.&#8217; And saying that sh*t just to sound cool. I don&#8217;t really have too many friends, to be honest.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We just be kicking it, and we<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/411901-cordae-shares-inspiring-throwback-freestyle-over-kanye-wests-gone-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> just be recording</a>,&#8221; Cordae continued. &#8220;It won&#8217;t be like, &#8216;Yo, let&#8217;s just put this out next week.&#8217; It&#8217;ll be like, &#8216;Yo, this song is a couple years old.&#8217; You know what I&#8217;m saying? So, I&#8217;m like, man, I&#8217;m going to just hold on to this. And when the time feels right, it feels right.&#8221;</p>



<p>Additionally, &#8220;Two Tens&#8221; isn&#8217;t the only Cole-produced record they have on the books. In fact, there&#8217;s enough in the stash for an EP.</p>



<p>&#8220;You know what&#8217;s funny, we literally got a mixtape full of joints with me and .Paak,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Well, we got an EP full of joints with me, .Paak, and Cole beats.&#8221;</p>

<p>Elsewhere, Cordae revealed he&#8217;s been spending his time recording and perfecting his craft. He claims to have made 180 songs in the last year alone, and he&#8217;s proud of that number, regardless of how many his peers are cranking out.</p>



<p>&#8220;Just trying to make it better, bro. Just never being satisfied. And really, bro, it may be to a fault or a good thing, but I&#8217;m a people pleaser. So, I really want to just <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/410887-cordae-blazes-through-multi-platinum-new-song" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">make good music</a> that the fans love. I just don&#8217;t want to disappoint anybody, for real.&#8221;</p>
