In just one week, Cordae is set to release his third solo project, titled The Crossroads. This album will feature 17 tracks, with confirmed collaborations including Anderson .Paak (twice), Lil Wayne, and Joey Bada$$. Notably, Joey Bada$$ may appear on the final teaser track of Cordae’s project, entitled “Syrup Sandwiches.” For those unfamiliar, syrup sandwiches are precisely what their name suggests, yet they carry a deeper significance beyond being a mere sweet snack. They frequently appear in rap music, with Kendrick Lamar being one of the most prominent artists to mention them. He alluded to this treat in his hit song “HUMBLE.”
“Ayy, I remember syrup sandwiches and crime allowances.” These sandwiches are particularly common among individuals raised in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, serving as an inexpensive meal for many. They also symbolize the journey and progress that artists have made from their challenging childhoods, which is the central theme of this song. Instead of dwelling on their past struggles, Cordae and Joey Bada$$ emphasize their achievements. Both artists deliver impressive one-liners over a relaxed, nearly drum-less instrumental. Listen to the new track below and share your excitement for The Crossroads.
