Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion, Bongos [📷: Atlantic]Grammy winning rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion join forces once more for “Bongos,” another bold, raunchy, and unapologetic banger.

“Bong, bong, bong, bong…” Those words are repeated over and over again throughout 🎵 “Bongos”.  For the first time since 🎵 “WAP”, 🏆 Grammy winners 🎙 Cardi B and 🎙 Megan Thee Stallion join forces again for “Bongos.” The record features a minimalist, skeletal beat which is infectious.  Producing this ear-catching joint is 🎛 Breyen Isaac, We Good, and DJ SwanQo.

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion, Bongos [📷: Atlantic]Cardi B kicks things off with  plenty of attitude – an understatement!  “Nigga, eat this ass like a plum (Plum) / This pussy tight like a nun (Nun),” she spits, continuing, “Better chew it up like it’s gum (gum) / Then wipe your mouth when you’re done.” Holy shit! The bold, unapologetic lyrics don’t stop there, with TMI lines like, “Better beat this shit like a drum” and “I ride dick like a pony, girl.” Woo! Similarly, Megan Thee Stallion has ample attitude, both complementing and contrasting Cardi:

“This ass sit like a stallion, all these wannabes my lil ponies

These hoes camped out in the comments

Always talkin’ like they know me.”

No, not necessarily, but it’s fun… in a totally explicit, naughty, NSFW way.
