Cordae, a Warner Music Group artist at Atlantic Records will perform at ICA’s Summer on Seventh Fundraising event on Saturday

For Cordae, community involvement is everything — and he intends on using his platform to lift minorities up.

Speaking to PEOPLE about his partnership with Downtown Los Angeles’ Inner City Arts, Cordae opened up about his passion for helping others and the future plans he dreams of putting in action.

“Community involvement is important to me because I think that’s the foundation of every successful society, group of people, is through community. It’s just a sense of togetherness,” the “C Carter” rapper, 25, tells PEOPLE.

He continues, “I feel like now, because maybe it’s post-pandemic, maybe it’s the social media age we live in, but everybody’s just super to themselves. Everybody is kind of team me, and team me and mine versus team togetherness.”
