Cardi B is back with a bang. The rapper just dropped her new single “Outside”, her first solo release of the year and it’s already making waves.
Released on Friday, the fiery track blends Cardi’s signature confidence with sharp lyrics aimed at past flings and fake friends.
She first teased the song on Instagram with the caption “We OUTSIDE this Friday!!” alongside cover art showing the aftermath of a rowdy NYC block party think: fire hydrants, Solo cups, and dominoes.
Cardi debuted “Outside” live during her performance at Spotify Beach in Cannes, France, earlier this week, building hype before the official drop.
Though she hasn’t dropped a new album since her Grammy-winning 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy, she’s continued releasing hits and hinted that her next album is on the way, pending some long-overdue feature verses.
With five Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s already under her belt, Cardi’s latest track is a bold reminder: she’s still running the game and this summer, she’s very much outside.
