Cardi B – Outside

Atlantic Records and Cardi B capitalize on the popular demand following several teasers, releasing the lead single “Outside” from the rap star’s forthcoming sophomore album.

Fans think “Outside” is a diss aimed at Cardi’s husband Offset. The couple’s toxic relationship lasted for years, with constant accusations of cheating from both partners. The couple is currently going through a divorce.

“Outside” wants all the smoke based on the lyrics. Cardi responds with a verse that matches her ex’s every salacious move. The verse implies that Cardi believes she can locate a more substantial, superior partner.

She wants to dictate how her story is told and maintain the spotlight on her music. Mekka still packs a Bardi punch. Her delivery is razor-sharp, the beat is pounding, and the lyrics don’t hold back. The track is infused with a mix of pain, power, and pressure, all presented through a blend of Bronx confidence and Dominican flavor.

Cardi B is fully prepared, fine-tuning the final details of her highly anticipated second album. The phrase “Outside” might be too weak to make the cut, but the noise it generated shows fans are fully invested.

Following the album’s latest release is a string of previous tracks, including “Toot It Up,” “Enough,” and “Like What (Freestyle).” Offset and Cardi B were sued by the owner of the home where they shot the “Like What” music video.
