For a minute now, Cordae’s been establishing himself as one of the nicest MC’s of this generation and while Hip-Hop legends like Jadakiss and Nas have given the young’n his flowers, Cordae is prepared to branch out of the states and conquer foreign land to expand his reach.
Heading overseas and becoming familiar with the homeland of his baby mama (Naomi Osaka), Cordae takes in the views and sites of Japan in his visuals to “The Water” and roams the streets of Tokyo where he takes pics with the locals and hits up some clothing spots for exclusive attire. If this was the early 2000s he would’ve came back with hella pairs of BAPE’s.
Back in Detroit, Dej Loaf decides to roll through her hometown and in her clip to “100 Million” she hitches a ride on top of a whip before hitting the streets with her torch wielding peoples. We don’t care what y’all think, camouflage pants on women are sexy. Just sayin’.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Hot Boy Turk, Jay Critch and more.

A minute ago, Machine Gun Kelly ditched the rap scene to dip his toes into the pop genre of the music game, but now it seems like the Cleveland rapper is ready to once again show off his rhyme skills that many say defeated one Marshall Mathers aka Eminem back in 2018.
In a new video for their “Doja Freestyle,” Machine Gun Kelly and Cordae take to the lawn with nothing but a microphone and Central Cee’s “Doja” beat. Kelly then proceeded to drop the kind of bars that you wouldn’t really expect from someone who looks like he just got home from a Slayer concert. Spitting lines like “This off the cranium/This is a nuclear weapon, my bars are uranium/I’m spittin’ fire, this must be House of The Dragons, I’m a Targaeryan/I don’t deal with p*ssies, I’m not a veterinarian, but I might educate and slap a p*ssy boy like a disciplinarian.”
Not one to pass up the opportunity to shine on his own, Cordae continues to prove he too is a beast on the beat and went off with his own lines like “I’m from the city where n*ggas gon’ make you pay tariffs/Them n*ggas strapped like a sheriff/Promise my whole family good if a n*gga gon’ perish/They in my will like a ferris.”
They both got it in on this joint.
Check out Machine Gun Kelly and Cordae’s “Doja Freestyle” below, and let us know who bodied the track the most in the comments section.

Cordae and Anderson .Paak are a dream team on “Two Tens” — kind of.
The “So With That” rapper released the new track Wednesday (Jan. 25), but the flashy video sees .Paak soaking up all the attention that comes with new girls in his orbit, while Cordae ponders if the extra attention, time and money required is even worth it.
The video sees Cordae pulling up to a club where he meets the Silk Sonic member, something that he didn’t necessarily want to do in the first place. “Me and my n—a Anderson decided to pull up to the club, and I don’t even like going out, but if my n—a tell me pull up, I pull up easy, you know?” the rapper narrates the video before officially launching into the sleek visual.
The J. Cole-produced track, which borrows elements from ’90s-era hip-hop in the instrumentation, tells a story, with Cordae attempting to be a voice of reason for .Paak, who can barely control his excitement.
“Man, I love this b—h/ We gon’ travel and fill up the bucket list/ Have ’bout 10 kids on the ranch on some southern sh–,” the “Leave the Door Open” singer spits, infatuated with a girl who showers him with attention in the club bathroom.
“You mean sucker sh–/ Slave to the p—y since you discovered it/ Ten bands on Chanel purse, that’s bad budgetin’/ Plus you n—as always together, it’s mad smotherin’/ You simpin’ over b—-es, I never thought it would come to this,” Cordae replies, judging — and lamenting — his friends’ actions.
“Two Tens” is not the first track that Cordae and .Paak have dropped together: The pair’s “RNP” collaboration, released in 2019, just became certified platinum.
In other Cordae news, the rapper is expecting his first child with tennis star Naomi Osaka, who announced the news on Jan. 11. “I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future,” she wrote in her Twitter announcement. “One thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom,’ haha.”

After withdrawing from the upcoming Australian Open, Naomi Osaka announced that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Cordae.
On Wednesday (Jan. 11), the tennis star shared a statement in Japanese and English through social media accompanied by a photo of an ultrasound with the caption, “Can’t wait to get back on the court but here’s a little life update for 2023.” In the statement shared from her notes app, the four-time Grand Slam champion said: “These few months away from the sport has really given me a new love and appreciation for the game I’ve dedicated my life to.”
She continued: “I realize that life is so short, and I don’t take any moments for granted, every day is a new blessing and adventure. I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom’, haha. 2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me, and I hope I’ll see you guys in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024.” Osaka signed off, “Love you all infinitely.”
Osaka withdrew from this year’s Australian Open, an event she has won twice in her career. She has been highly open about her mental health struggles in the past, at one point taking an indefinite break from tennis in 2021. The 25-year-old only played 11 tournaments in 2022 and hadn’t played a full match since the U.S. Open last August. Off the court, she’s been busy as the highest-paid female athlete, which included starting her own talent agency last year which signed Nick Krygios as a client.
She has been dating Cordae since 2019, with the rapper being a prominent fixture by her side since. Osaka dedicated a loving post of acknowledgment after her 2020 U.S. Open finals win, expressing how he dropped everything to support her even though she was “still convinced he doesn’t understand the rules of tennis lol.”
Congratulations are in order for Cordae and Naomi Osaka, who are expecting their first child together.
The 25-year-old pro tennis player shared the happy news via Twitter on Wednesday (Jan. 11), posting a photo of an ultrasound. “I realize that life is so short and I don’t take any moments for granted, every day is a new blessing and adventure,” she wrote. “I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom,’ haha.”
The athlete did not mention Cordae in her post, but the rapper’s rep confirmed to Billboard that he is indeed the father.
While the couple is about to embark on a new journey in their relationship, they’ve been romantically linked since 2019. We’ve compiled a full timeline of Cordae and Naomi Osaka’s relationship, which you can check out below.

Cordae found his name trending on Twitter starting on Wednesday (Jan. 11) after his girlfriend, Naomi Osaka announced she was expecting her first child. Fans of the rapper and tennis superstar are naturally celebrating the news and getting off jokes at Cordae’s expense but it isn’t mean-spirited in the least for the most part.
Cordae, 25, and Osaka, also 25, have been quite the pair over the past few years with the talented rapper often seen courtside supporting his lady. Since 2019, the couple has been going strong, and the addition of a little one all but signals that this is a union that was meant to last. We should note that while Osaka never mentions the DMV rapper, it can be assumed that he is indeed the father.
In Osaka’s announcement, she shared a photo of an ultrasound showing off the couple’s upcoming bundle of joy along with the promise that she’ll make a return to the court and says her child will be there cheering mom on. For Osaka fans, the news comes with the caveat that she’s intending to take off the entire year of 2023 but will make a return to the court in 2024.
“I realize that life is so short and I don’t take any moments for granted, everyday is a new blessing and adventure,” Osaka tweeted yesterday. “I know that I have much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom,’ haha. 2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me and I hope I’ll see you guys in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024 (Australian Open).”
Cordae hasn’t been terribly active on social media, last tweeting on Jan. 5 writing “I feel like I’m the underdog” and “just until 2 ??” in a pair of tweets.
As it stands, congrats are in order for the happy couple and the reactions below are saluting Cordae for what people are saying is the A$AP Rocky package of wifing up and having a baby with a bonafide star. In all seriousness, we’re very happy for the couple.
