Album: AM I THE DRAMA? Album by Cardi B

She’s baaaaack. Cardi B has finally returned with Am I the Drama?, one of the most hotly awaited second albums in history. Incredibly, it’s been seven years since the Bronx queen crashed into the music world with her classic debut Invasion of Privacy, like a one-woman explosion of neon hip-hop flash, making everyone else sound tame by comparison. Yet in all those years, the self-proclaimed “Brimcess” has never been far from the spotlight or the headlines, without ever making a wrong musical move, scoring hits whenever she’s in the mood. 

On Am I the Drama?, Cardi makes up for lost time with a massive comeback triumph, standing tall in her bloodier-than-ever shoes. She’s got a long list of scores to settle, enemies to crush, crowns to claim. As always, she brings so much larger-than-life personality to the party that she could coast on charisma if she wanted. But Cardi’s been in the news lately for everything except her music, so it’s a trip to hear her finally get to cut loose and have fun. She’s out to remind everyone she’s looser, wilder, less predictable, just plain funnier than anyone else in the game. As she declares, “All of my cars is chauffeured/I ain’t touched door handles in years!”
