Cardi B, the queen of viral hits, has once again sent the internet into a frenzy. On July 1, the "WAP" rapper took to Instagram to drop a tantalizing snippet of a new song in her Stories. This time, she's sampling Janet Jackson's sultry classic, "Funny How Time Flies (When You’re Having Fun)". In a surprising twist, Cardi dials back her trademark high-energy rap for a more subdued, melodic vibe.
The clip, which has since vanished from her Stories, was captioned with a tease for her fans: “Y’all like this vibe for ‘CB2’?” ‘CB2’ is the working title for Cardi’s highly anticipated sophomore album. Although there’s no official release date yet, Cardi has been dropping hints that the project will see the light of day sometime this year.
Since her blockbuster debut, Cardi has kept the momentum going with a string of hit singles. Notable tracks include "Please Me" with Bruno Mars in 2019, the assertive anthem "Up" in 2021, and the raunchy banger "WAP" featuring Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
Cardi B continues to keep her fans on their toes, teasing what promises to be an eclectic and exciting follow-up album. With her knack for blending different styles and her fearless approach to music, "CB2" is shaping up to be another game-changer. Stay tuned, because Cardi B is about to bring the heat once again.
