Hows everybody doing today?
So for those of you who may not know who i am
Which is probably the vast majority of you all
My name is Cordae
I'm 24 years old
I was born in Raleigh, North Carolina but was raised majority in
Suitland, Maryland which made me who i am today
I'm Hip-Hop artist more specifically a Grammy-nominated Hip-hop artist
A quote unquote critically acclaimed world-renowned B-list celebrity but to be honest more like B minus
but again you all can just call me Cordae
And assume that i'm almost kind of a big deal
Because i'm here doing a TED Talk
Now i know what you're thinking what does a 24 year old rapper possibly have to say during a TED Talk
Like who cares what ja rule thinks you know
But i'm here to talk about my mantra and my way of life that has gotten me this far and can hopefully take me a lot further on my journey as I'm just getting started and that's the "Hi level mindset"
Now before i get into the details about the Hi level mindset
I want to tell you about the original creator of the Hi level mindset
That's my mom she doesn't even know it
My mother had me when she was 16 years old
She was single mom with all the odds against her
And yet from an unbiased perspective
I like to say she did a pretty decent job
We live in some pretty terrible neighborhoods man
I switched elementary schools about five different times
I remember one time her car had got stolen twice in one week
She overcame circumstance obstacles her environment and negativity as i watched our living situations would continue toget
Better and better as the years went by now that's hi level
