Watch: Nardwuar Interviews Cardi B

Nardwuar

During the Coachella festival in California this past weekend, Nardwuar caught up with Cardi B for an unsurprisingly weird interview.

The Bronx rapper, whose debut album Invasion of Privacy has broken records, was not fazed by Nardwuar’s personality. However, at one point, she declined to answer one of his questions, saying, “I’m going to have a child, so I can’t tell that story anymore.”

Released on April 6, Invasion of Privacy will debut at No. 1 on Billboard 200 albums chart on Tuesday, making her the fifth female rapper to top the chart. (She follows Nicki Minaj, Eve, Foxy Brown, and Lauryn Hill.) The project also had the biggest streaming week for a debut studio album, passing Lil Uzi Vert‘s Luv Is Rage 2.

In terms of support from DJs, Cardi currently has five tracks on DJcity’s Hot Box chart.

Watch the convo above.

Watch Kelli-Leigh’s ‘Do You Wanna Be Loved Like This?’ Video

Kelli-leigh

UK singer/songwriter Kelli-Leigh has shared the video for her solo debut single, “Do You Wanna Be Loved Like This.”

Leigh is best known for singing on hits like Duke Dumont‘s “I Got U,” Secondcity’s “I Wanna Feel,” and the Bingo Players‘ “Cry (Just a Little),” though she wasn’t listed as an artist on any of them. She most recently collaborated with James Hype as a credited vocalist on his UK Top 10 hit, “More Than Friends.”

Filmed in Dubai, the visual finds Leigh driving and dancing on a road in the middle of nowhere while her boyfriend is tied up in the trunk.

“Do You Wanna Be Loved Like This” has also received a remix by UK producer OFFset. BBC Radio 1’s MistaJam named the remix as one of his “self-certified” future anthems in March.

Watch the video above and download “Do You Wanna Be Loved Like This” on DJcity.
