Paul Williams, ASCAP's chairman, commended Cardi B for her authenticity and the significant barriers she has broken for women in the hip-hop industry.

In 2020, Cardi made history by becoming the first woman to win the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Songwriter of the Year Award for two consecutive years.

Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper known for her multiplatinum hits, is set to receive the ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award, which honors her profound impact on music and culture.

The new album is expected to feature at least 20 tracks, with Cardi having a wealth of over 100 unreleased songs to draw from.

In addition to her music career, Cardi was named Playboy's first-ever Creative Director in Residence in 2021, a role that has allowed her to further influence popular culture.

Her recent works include collaborations with GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion, alongside her latest singles, showcasing her continued relevance in the music scene.

As anticipation builds for her upcoming album, recent singles like "Like What (Freestyle)" and "Enough (Miami)" have generated considerable excitement among fans.

In preparation for her sophomore album, Cardi B has expressed a sense of urgency in finalizing collaborations with various artists.

Describing the album as "messy" and emotionally raw, Cardi revealed that it will explore themes of heartbreak and healing.

Her personal life has seen significant changes, including the birth of her third child and her filing for divorce in 2024, alongside her ongoing music projects.

ASCAP, the organization presenting the award, is a not-for-profit that advocates for music creators, representing over one million songwriters and publishers.
