The first single “Outside” is available now
Global rap superstar Cardi B has officially launched the next chapter of her career with the announcement of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Am I The Drama? available everywhere September 19th via Atlantic records. Marking a bold evolution in her sound and storytelling, the project arrives after her record-breaking debut album Invasion of Privacy — not just aiming to top it, but showing how far she’s come and how much more she has to say. To celebrate the announcement of her album, fans now have access to Am I The Drama? limited edition merch which features vinyl, CD and box set available at her website.
To kick off this new era, she dropped her first single “Outside,” available everywhere now. “Outside” peaked at No. 1 on Apple Music this weekend and remains at the top of the chart, marking her first No. 1 since the multi-platinum “Up.” The release immediately sparked a wave of excitement online with more than 163 million Instagram followers driving momentum that continues to build.
The fiery new anthem release follows her appearance at the Cannes Spotify Beach Party on Wednesday, June 18th, where she debuted “Outside” live for the very first time. She will also perform this weekend at LadyLand Festival in Brooklyn, New York on Friday, June 27th.
In 2020, this hit song featuring Megan Thee Stallion affirmed Cardi B as one of Apple Music’s most popular artists of all time, earning the platform’s highest-ever debut by a female artist as well as the fastest song in Apple Music history by a female artist to peak at No. 1. It also went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaked at No. 1 on rhythmic radio, and rose to No. 2 on urban radio. “WAP” also won Favorite Song – Rap/Hip-Hop at the American Music Awards and won Best Collaboration and Video of the Year at the BET Awards. It was also nominated for Collaboration of the Year at the American Music Awards, nominated for five categories at the MTV Video Music Awards, and nominated for Best Music Video at the iHeart Music Awards.
