Baltimore, MD – July 4, 2025
Baltimore doesn’t whisper when it gets ready for war — it roars. And now, with just nine weeks until kickoff, the city’s voice just got a new edge. Grammy-nominated rapper and Maryland native Cordae has dropped a brand-new track titled “Flock Mode”, and it’s already shaking the ground from Owings Mills to M&T Bank Stadium.
Blending hard-hitting drums, haunting strings, and a tone soaked in grit, the anthem doesn’t just hype — it declares. It’s a war cry for a team known for black visors, busted tackles, and playoff hunger. This isn’t radio Cordae. This is Ravens Cordae.
"From the shadows we fly, never chasing the light,
Purple pain in our blood, born to fight.
No glamour, no gloss, just teeth and claw —
When the Ravens hunt, we hunt to maul."
That’s the opening verse — and it hits like Roquan Smith on 3rd-and-long.
Cordae teased the track last week with a midnight post: a purple sky over the Inner Harbor, one word captioned below — “Soon.” Today, soon became now. And Baltimore is eating it up.
Lamar Jackson shared the song with fire emojis. Odell reposted the beat drop in a gym video. Even Ravens' official account gave it their blessing: “The Flock rides different when Cordae’s on the beat.”
But this isn’t just hype. Cordae’s roots run deep — he’s a DMV kid who grew up watching Ray Lewis tear through lines and Ed Reed bait quarterbacks into oblivion. He knows what Ravens football means. And with this track, he’s given the city something more than music. He’s given them another reason to believe.
So whether you're screaming from Section 136 or bumping it through cracked speakers on a Baltimore block, just remember: the hunt has begun. And this time, it comes with a soundtrack.
Stay tuned to ESPN for more on music, momentum, and the soul of Ravens Nation.
