Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B brings mad confidence and energy on her second single of 2024, “Enough (Miami).”
“One bitch, two bitch, old bitch, new bitch / None of y’all bitches not gon’ do shit.” WOO! You just experienced the gospel according to Grammy-winning rapper, Cardi B. On her single, “Enough (Miami)”, Cardi is NOT playing around. Backed by a malicious, minor-key backdrop produced by OG Parker, Romano, and DJ SwanQo, she’s energetic from the opening tip, as evidenced by the intro where she gasses herself up. Serving up a badass, compelling cadence and flow, Cardi rides the beat hard AF and doesn’t let her foot off the gas.
“When I step, it’s a stampede / Foot on neck, can’t breathe,” Cardi asserts in the pre-chorus, continuing, “Lucky Charm, Van Cleef / Diamonds on the dance team.” Like, WORD. She has moments throughout where she switches the flow up – ‘keeping the hits coming’ so to speak. As excerpted above, she’s unapologetic with his rhymes, giving no Fs whatsoever. “Give me one shot and I’m raising the glass / Give me two shots and I’m shaking this ass,” she spits, confidently in the second verse, adding, “Give me three shots and I’m ready to fuck / Five, four shots, I be ready to splash.” Woo! The chorus is tough – a selling point by all means: “I see my opps linkin’ up, I’m like, ‘What in the fuck?’ / If you scared, then just say that, ho, enough is enough…” All told, “Enough (Miami)” is a fun rap banger. Furthermore, it is an improvement over her so-so previous single, “Like What (Freestyle)” – it packs more of a punch.
