Cardi B has Rihanna‘s stamp of approval!

The femcee’s debut album ‘Invasion Of Privacy’ easily serves as one of the year’s most hotly anticipated releases – and with sound reason.

Led by the blockbuster ‘Bodak Yellow,’ the LP’s release signifies more than an “album debut” – it’s the formal coronation of a bonafide star.

Bronx bred Cardi, real name Belcalis Almanzar, has fuelled her unparalleled momentum by guesting on a number of chart-igniting collaborations including ‘Finesse’ with Bruno Mars. Combined with her huge social media popularity, it’s made for the perfect storm of buzz leading into the arrival of the LP.

With the set being showered with praise from fans and critics alike, Ms. Fenty is the latest to give her a salute (following shout outs from the likes of Missy Elliott, Oprah, and Green Day).

Her congratulatory post awaits below…

Sailing to new creative ground is the R&B singer/songwriter Elijah Blake.

The purpose of his journey? The creation of his new project KaraJishi which he created with the performer Ben Strick.

Together, the pair team up to release the song ‘Give up the Ghost’ and celebrate the arrival of a creative partnership they hope will push the envelope artistically.

We really want to push the boundaries of what modern pop music can be. We’d like to change the game a little, by combining our two styles and making this music accessible. We’re mixing Elijah’s R&B side with my sort of weird, progressive metal and rock, to make something completely new.
