Brooklyn’s own JOURDEN (Jourden Cox) pulled up to The Punchline Academy with something to say with a freestyle!

Born and raised in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Jourden is a rapper, singer, songwriter and producer whose sound blends classic hip hop, neo-soul, alternative R&B and Caribbean influences. Her style has drawn comparisons to the hip-hop/soul tradition of artists like Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, while Jourden has also cited The Notorious B.I.G., OutKast and A Tribe Called Quest among her influences.

Jourden first gained wider attention with records like “Flow” and “Coulda Been,” before releasing her Straight, No Chas* EP through RCA Records in 2024. She’s currently affiliated with MBK Entertainment/RCA Records.

Now she’s back with her new 2026 project, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, featuring appearances from Queen Naija and Theron Thomas, plus production from Hit-Boy, Cardo and more.

Jourden stopped by The Punchline Academy to talk about the new music and what’s next but you already know we couldn’t let a Brooklyn MC leave without touching the mic.

She stepped up and DROPPED STRAIGHT BARS.
