Data Insight

Invasion of Privacy is Cardi B's debut and the album that won the Grammy for Best Rap Album, the first solo win for a female rapper. Cardi B has a writing credit on all thirteen tracks, working with a large production team including Boi-1da, Frank Dukes, DJ Mustard, and Murda Beatz. Two of its singles, "Bodak Yellow" and "I Like It," reached number one on the Hot 100, making it one of the most successful rap debuts of its era.

Invasion of Privacy is Cardi B's debut studio album, released April 6, 2018, through Atlantic Records. The album arrived on the back of the colossal success of 'Bodak Yellow,' which had already spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and established Cardi B as the most talked-about new voice in hip-hop. Rather than rushing out a product to capitalize on her moment, Cardi B assembled a cohesive album with a clear artistic identity: a portrait of a woman who came up hard and knows her worth, told with humor, vulnerability, and unsparing directness. The album's production spans hard trap ('Bodak Yellow,' 'Get Up 10'), reggaeton ('I Like It'), R&B-tinged ballads ('Be Careful,' 'Ring'), and club-ready pop ('Best Life'), giving Cardi B room to demonstrate range while maintaining a consistent lyrical voice. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, was certified diamond by the RIAA, and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, the first time that award had ever been won by a solo female artist.
