In a world that glamorizes hustle, isolation, and perfection, Cordae’s Crossroads cuts through the noise with truth. The album isn’t just music — it’s an emotional journal for anyone navigating love, building from the ground up, or facing silent battles with self-worth. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, drained, or stuck between where you were and where you’re going — this is the album that gets you.
“Nothing’s Promised”: Loyalty Hurts the Most
The road to success isn’t paved with glitter — it’s lined with betrayal, fake friends, and heartbreak. Nothing’s Promised hits this reality hard. Cordae lays out what many of us feel but don’t say: sometimes the people closest to us are the first to switch up. He keeps it raw with:
“Too many snakes in the grass, need fertilizer / They want me back in the place I converted out of”
It’s a reminder to protect your energy and recognize when growth requires distance, even from those you love.
“06 Dreamin”: Chasing Dreams from the Basement
This track captures the gritty underdog story — a kid dreaming big while life hands him less. His mother’s American Idol audition, their struggle in East Aiken, and the heartbreak of unrealized dreams are more than lyrics — they’re our lives too. Cordae paints a portrait of pain transformed into purpose:
“Another demo that was shopped around and ain’t make it / So then I started writin’ in that basement”
For anyone who’s ever had to start over in the dark, this one is your anthem.
“Don’t Walk Away”: Love in the Midst of Chaos
When you’re building yourself, relationships get complicated. Don’t Walk Away dives into the emotional push and pull of modern love — the joy, the distance, and the desperate hope to hold on. You can feel the ache in:
“It still lingers amongst the pillows, the satin sheets are stained with her scent”
Cordae doesn’t glorify love — he tells the truth about how messy it can get when two people are still trying to figure themselves out.
“All Alone”: The Loneliness of Success
Success isn’t always sweet — sometimes it’s silent. All Alone is a haunting reminder that you can have everything and still feel empty inside. This one hits the soul hardest for the grinders, the loners, and those who outgrew their circle:
“What’s a ten-thousand-square-foot mansion… but there’s no one there”
“I made a million all by myself, I’m a self-winner… bought my first crib by myself, but there’s no one there”
It’s the emotional core of the entire album. Because at the end of the day, what’s the point of reaching the top if you’re the only one clapping?

Why Crossroads Is More Than an Album
This isn’t just background music — it’s soul work. It’s for the ones going through it in silence. The dreamers who feel too far behind. The lovers trying to rebuild. The loners with no one to call but everything to say.
Cordae didn’t create Crossroads for the crowd — he created it for the few. The ones who need to know they’re not alone, even when it feels like it.
