The defiant closing track on "Invasion Of Privacy."

Cardi B and SZA were hinting at a collaboration as early as last September. After Cardi shared a video of herself jamming out and singing along to "Love Galore," SZA suggested that the two put out an official remix. Though that never saw the light of day, the two artists who have each seen huge success within the last year have collaborated on "I Do," the closing track from Cardi's proper debut album Invasion Of Privacy. While SZA brags about leaving a guy on "read" 'cause she "felt like it" on the hook, Cardi is defiant and justifiably cocky in her verses, speaking to those who thought "Bodak Yellow" may have been a flash in the pan: "My little 15 minutes lasting long as hell, huh?" Looking at the potential sales numbers for the project, which could be as high as 200,000, Cardi isn't going anywhere, and the commercial success of the project lines up with the praise it's been receiving on social media. From Logic to the one and only Oprah Winfrey, there's been a lot of kind words being said by fans, critics, and peers alike. 

The album features guest appearances from the likes of 21 Savage, Migos, Chance The Rapper, YG, and Kehlani. You can stream it in full here.

Quotable Lyrics:
Now I'm a boss
I write my own name on the checks
Pussy so good, I say my own name during sex
I might smack a bitch 'cause I felt like it
Gucci shoes and a belt like it
Said that Cardi is his favorite fragrance
