To be perfectly clear, there's no denying that Cardi B sounds like a New Yorker- she's NY through and through- but "Bodak Yellow" is adopting a Florida rapper's cadence, and as an NY Rap Superstars go, something seems amiss. Not only that, NYC, as the birthplace of hip-hop, has larger responsibility in terms of its crown-bearer, a loftier one too even with genres and geographical borders bleeding into one another, the New York superstar must still sound NYC, which oftentimes correlates to a certain level of waxing poetic. To become the tentpole of New York rap you have to be that one reliable figure who, at every turn and every corner, has a song ready to set the city on fire. Currently, with the unstoppable rise of Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow,” most would think the New York rap crown would belong to her, but that’s not the case. In 2016, we watched as both Desiigner and Young M.A made their efforts to claim their spot on the throne, and ultimately it wasn’t meant to be, at least not just yet. A Boogie establishes himself as a New York rap star on "The Bigger Artist."
