Cardi B broke out with “Bodak Yellow” almost a year before she released “Invasion of Privacy” in April 2018. Times critic Mikael Wood in his review commended the rapper for her relatability — “through her words and delivery ... the songs make you feel like she’s speaking directly to you.”

After seven years, Cardi B is stepping back into the spotlight with her sophomore album, Am I The Drama?. The announcement came with filmic and gritty visuals, bold artwork, and an intrepid voiceover that hints at Cardi’s more intense and reflective era.

Cardi B is finally back. The Grammy Award-winning rapper just announced her second studio album (and first in seven years), “Am I the Drama?” By that album title alone, you can bet the rapper is gonna go there.
