FendiDa Rappa f. Cardi B — “Point Me 2”
Cardi B continues a strong feature streak with a new release. After linking up with GloRilla (“Tomorrow 2”) and Latto (“Put It On Da Floor Again”), the Bronx bombshell brings forth another banger. This time around, Bardi teams up with rising artist FendiDa Rappa for “Point Me 2.”
Fedi kicks things off in the first verse. “In my city we get lit, that’s where the movies at,” she raps. And shortly after that, Cardi B enters with a booming second verse. “They don’t be doin’ sh-t / and I’m ready with receipts, I be proving sh-t,” she raps. “I blow 50 racks in Target on some stupid sh-t.”
Cardi is beaming about the track on social media. “I’m just so happy,” she says. “I’m so happy because this is one of my favorite songs. This is gonna be that song that’s gonna turn up the clubs. I know it. It’s just too lit.”
The song’s Michelle Parker-directed music video starts off in a massage parlor. Then, the action quickly picks up with fast-paced cuts, high-energy dancing, and plenty of twerking as Cardi and Fendi go back and forth.
Lil Tjay f. YoungBoy Never Broke Again — “Project Walls”
Lil Tjay taps YoungBoy Never Broke Again for an introspective new collaboration, “Project Walls.” The track allows both emcees to reflect on their rise from humble beginnings and their newfound success.
Firstly, Tjay jumpstarts the record with thoughts on the come up but also on another grim reality. “Roaches, project walls / Dead broke, I seen all,” Tjay raps. “Tryna change my life; Damn near tried it all / Know son want me dead / Locked up in the feds / I strive for better.”
Next, NBA YoungBoy comes in for the second verse and follows Tjay’s lead thematically. “Those just federal walls,” he raps. “I’ve seen that before / I’m so gone, on God, I don’t cry no more.”
Tjay celebrated the song’s release and announced his upcoming album, 222. “In a world full of chaos, I’m just trynna leave my mark,” he says. “2 years in the making, appreciate y’all for all the love and support.”
222 is due next week.
