Overview
- Cardi B released her second studio album on September 19 via Atlantic Records, delivering a 25‑track project that several reviews describe as daunting.
- Coverage from NME, HotNewHipHop and GQ praises diss‑driven standouts such as “Pretty & Petty,” “Magnet,” “Killin You Hoes” and the club‑ready “Errtime.”
- Critics fault uneven production and, in places, a sluggish delivery, while calling some high‑profile features mismatched, including turns from Selena Gomez, Lizzo and Kehlani.
- GQ notes the album tacks on earlier megahits “WAP” (2020) and “Up” (2021), a choice some see as a strategic chart‑boosting move.
- Personal cuts like “Man Of Your Word” and other Summer Walker‑assisted moments draw attention for vulnerability, and some commentators anticipate response tracks and online back‑and‑forths.
