From Westlake High To Heavy Is The Crown: Cordae’s Journey From Charles County To Hip-Hop

WALDORF, Md. — Before Cordae’s name appeared alongside Anderson .Paak on an album cover, it appeared on a basketball roster at Westlake High School in Waldorf. At the time, he was Cordae Dunston, a student whose connection to Charles County would eventually become part of his music. According to MaxPreps, Dunston played guard on Westlake’s freshman basketball team. The sports website lists his graduation year as 2015. Years later, after establishing himself in hip-hop, Cordae gave his former school a different kind of recognition. He named a song after it.

A Province Changes Hands: Maryland Contested

On Christmas Day 1645, a Thursday, the House of Lords sat at Westminster and gave an order about a colony three thousand miles away. "Ordered by the Lords in Parlyament assembled, That the Comittee for forraigne Plantations, doe drawe vp an Ordinance, and present it to this howse, for the setling of the Plantation of Maryland vnder the Comand of Protestants, and for the indempnity of those that haue or shall act in this bussines."[1]The first colonists had landed in Maryland not quite twelve years before. Its charter belonged to Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore, an English Catholic who had built the province on a bargain. Catholics would be left alone there, and so would everyone else who professed Christianity. It was his policy from the first, though it was not written into law until 1649. Few other places in the English world offered Catholics as much. The Lords were proposing to end that bargain by ordinance.
