Check out Cardi B!

The Bronx bred rap star blossoms and blooms a-front of the latest issue of The New York Times Magazine.  

Looking every bit the force she’s become, the femcee’s appearance comes just days before she premieres the long awaited video for ‘Bartier Cardi.’

Released last December, the push for the track (which has thus far peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100) was paused to accommodate promotion for ‘Finesse’ – her collaboration with label-mate Bruno Mars.

With that song now a bonafide smash, it’s back to business for Cardi.

Jason Derulo continues to be all sorts of omnipresent with the debut of new single ‘Colors.’

The high-octane track is a collaboration between the Pop crooner and Coca-Cola an serves as the anthem for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

In a statement, Derulo said of the song:

“It was a pleasure working with Coca-Cola to create the anthem for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™. It’s a tournament that celebrates athletic excellence and I’m honoured to provide the soundtrack. Through my years of travel, I’ve been able to see the beauty in our cultural differences and I wrote ‘Colors’ to celebrate that diversity and be a part of the amazing energy that sports fans around the world give to their teams.”
