ScHoolboy Q Returns With ‘Blue Lips’ Album
Cardi B Serves Look After Look In Her Lavish New ‘Like What (Freestyle)’ Video
Cardi B has her foot on the gas. Tonight (March 1), she dropped her new single “Like What Freestyle,” on which, she lets none of her opps rest.
The song features a prominent sample of Missy Elliott‘s classic 1999 single, “She’s A B*tch,” and Cardi arrives with the same eccentric and charismatic energy Missy did 25 years ago.
She delivers some of the most scorching bars of her career, as she reminds us all how quickly she can switch it up.
“Classy and a c*nt / Blocks and money gettin’ spunt / Like what? / Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain’t what you want / If I ask for it, all I wanna hear is, ‘Yes’ / B*tch said she wanna be my opp, God bless / Look, I ain’t even got dressed / Any L that I took, come after YS,” she raps on the song’s chorus.
In the accompanying video, Cardi invites us into her lavish lifestyle, as she serves several looks, and eats sushi out of a YSL bag by her pool.
The end credits reveal that the video was directed by Offset, and that more music is on the way.
“This is just the beginning…stay tuned,” reads a screen at the end of the visual.
You can see the video for “Like What Freestyle” above.
Cardi B and Missy Elliott are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Chlöe Is A Self-Made Woman And Won’t Be Easily Swayed By Wealth On Her New Single ‘FYS’
Nearly a year after dropping her solo debut album, In Pieces, Chlöe is back with new music. Tonight (March 1), the R&B superstar has shared her new single “FYS” — which stands for “F*ck Your Status.”
On the song, Chlöe dips her toes into the realm of rhythmic, alternative R&B. Though she has many men vying for her attention, she stands on business letting them know that wealth or luxury won’t impress her, as she’s already attained it on her own.
“F*ck your status, it don’t matter / Money, cars and the diamonds / Don’t faze me, I been had it / F*ck your status / I just wanna love you, baby / What you wanna do?,” she sings on the song’s chorus.
It’s gearing up to be a big year for Chlöe. In an interview with Elle, Chlöe and her sister, Halle Bailey, revealed they are working on new music — both as solo acts, and together as a duo. Additionally, Chlöe is gearing up for her first ever solo Coachella performance, set to take place at this year’s festival in April.
“I’m excited,” said Chlöe. “Performing is my favorite thing to do and I’ll be performing my whole heart out. So I can’t wait.”
