Lil Durk

At the beginning of the month, Cardi B continued the journey towards her long-awaited sophomore album by releasing “Hot Sh*t,” her fiery collaboration with Kanye West and Lil Durk. The track features three solid verses from the artists who all did well over Tay Keith’s thumping production. Now, almost two weeks after the song’s arrival, Cardi is finally ready to share a video for it. She announced the visual with a brief teaser video that captures her descending from the side of a skyscraper. Cardi also confirmed that the video will arrive on July 12 at 8pm ET.

Shortly after she released “Hot Sh*t,” Cardi explained why a video did not arrive together with the single.

“Oh my goodness, I don’t want to talk about the video because this video has brought me so much drama,” she said during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “So this is the first time I ever do CGI. I’m very particular on how I like my things, and I really like when things look super realistic. I like building sets, or I like to be in a place.”

She continued, “I couldn’t maneuver or move how I wanted to, because I was very confused. After I finished the video, I find out that this sh*t takes so long. I did this video around March, and it’s still not even ready yet. And it’s just so frustrating that I’m like, ‘You know what? Just put the f*cking song out. I don’t even give a f*ck anymore. I’m over it.’”

There’s no doubt that Cardi B, Kanye West, and Lil Durk are three of hip-hop’s hottest acts in today’s music world. Despite not releasing an album in more than four years, Cardi B has cemented herself as a star in music while making her presence felt in fashion, politics, and other areas. Kanye West is undoubtedly one of the most popular and successful artists today, something he reminded the world of with the release of Donda last summer. Lastly, Lil Durk has recently grown into a star in his own right thanks to projects like The Voice of the Heroes and 7220.

Keeping all this in mind, it’s no surprise that the three rappers joined forces for a new song, and it’s even less of a surprise that’s called “Hot Sh*t.” The new song is a scorching record as the trio arrives with their hottest verses for the song. Cardi pierces through the song’s thumping production with a fierce verse to open the track, and soon after, Lil Durk arrives to match Cardi’s energy with a cut-throat verse before Kanye closes things out with a braggadocios verse.

“Hot Sh*t” arrives after Cardi inserted her name for the verse of the year title thanks to an electric contribution to Kay Flock’s “Shake It.” On the other hand, Lil Durk recently released a deluxe version of 7220 and shared a video for “Did Sh*t For Me” while Kanye honored Diddy through a surprise appearance at the 2022 BET Awards.
