      The sophomore album 'Am I The Drama?' is set to be released next month.

      GRAMMY® Award-winning rapper Cardi B has unveiled her latest single, 'Imaginary Playerz'.

      This track serves as the second preview of the New York rapper's upcoming album 'Am I the Drama?', following the earlier release of 'Outside'. The song features a sample from JAY-Z’s 1997 hit 'Imaginary Players', which Cardi B has stated is a tribute to the iconic rapper.

      Highlighting her high-fashion credentials, 'Imaginary Playerz' swaps out the heavy beats for a smoother East Coast rap-influenced rhythm, produced by DJ SwanQo, Sean Island, and OctaneThisThatGas.

      She kicks off the track with the line: “Now I spit that other sh-t, pretty motherf–ker shit / Cardi B, every song platinum, I’m not the other bitch / Whatever you was gon’ pay hеr, you gotta double it.”

      After hosting WWE’s SummerSlam on August 2nd, Cardi took to the stage to preview new music from her forthcoming album.
