\n Cardi B<\/a> has released \u201cImaginary Playerz,\u201d the latest single for her upcoming sophomore album, Am I The Drama?<\/a>, out September 19.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the new track, Cardi B raps about fame and fashion over a sample of Jay-Z\u2019s song, \u201cImaginary Players.\u201d Cardi B seemingly implied that Jay-Z himself approved the final song in a video and during an X Space. \u201cI was so happy because you guys understand, the song is kinda long\u2026this song is like a staple for me and I had to get it approved by the one and only,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very hip-hop record and I hope you guys enjoy it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Lyrically, the song finds Cardi talking shots at her competition, rapping, “Poor thing, Twitter must be gassin’ them heavy\/ Makin’ them jump in the ring with the Brim before they ready,” and “Now your fifteen up, you already out of time.”\n <\/p>\n

\n Produced by DJ SwanQo, OctaneThisThatGas, and Sean Island, the track accompanies a music video directed by Cardi B and Patience Foster, which features the rapper lounging on the wing of a private jet in a red bejeweled dress before traveling to a yacht in Mykonos, a restaurant in Paris, and a designer fitting.\n <\/p>\n

\n Am I The Drama? is the highly-anticipated follow-up to Cardi B\u2019s 2018 debut album, the Grammy-winning Invasion of Privacy<\/a>. The new project will be 23 tracks long and will include 2020\u2019s \u201cWAP\u201d with Megan Thee Stallion, 2021\u2019s \u201cUp,\u201d and the recent single \u201cOutside.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n On August 12, Cardi B revealed new album cover art, a close-up image of herself bedazzled with silver. Featuring the rapper posing with a giant bird, the original art matches the official video teaser, in which the rapper is attacked by a swarm of crows before she reappears with power over the birds.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardi B has released \u201cImaginary Playerz,\u201d the latest single for her upcoming sophomore album, Am I The Drama?,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-72863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
