Bronx native Cardi B has joined rising drill MC Kay Flock on his hard-hitting new song “Shake It,” which also features Dougie B and Bory300.
The track sees Cardi come out swinging with her take on New York’s ever-evolving drill scene. The video, which dropped alongside the track, keeps things simple with the rappers performing their respective verses minus Flock himself, albeit with some slick editing that keeps the clip moving at a breakneck pace. The video was directed by Jochi Saca and features a cameo from B-Lovee. The Elias Beats-produced song samples Akon’s track “Banaza (Belly Dancer),” making great use of the 2005 track.
The song was first teased in a Sidetalk NYC video last week, in which Cardi could be seen rapping her verse surrounded by a hyped-up crowd. “Shout out to the motherfuckin’ Bronx,” Cardi said in the clip. “Y’all be playing with the Bronx but let me tell you something; these Bronx n***as right now got all the views, beating all y’all n***as on YouTube, deadass.”
After the track was released, Cardi took to social media to praise artists from the Bronx.
“But right now the Bronx really getting this shit motherfuckin’ lit,” she said. “So, shoutout to all y’all lil’ motherfuckin’ drill rappers out there in the motherfuckin Bronx. Y’all really got the borough popping, deadass. Like never before.”
Kay Flock has been steadily building his fanbase over the past year, and he secured himself a viral hit with the release of “Is Ya Ready.” He’s currently behind bars, however, on first-degree murder charges. He’s been accused of killing Oscar Hernandez on December 16, 2021, per The Daily News. Police claim that he got into an argument with Hernandez and fatally shot him in the neck. It is believed that he is associated with the Bronx-based Thirdside Gang.
