Invasion of Privacy, Cardi B's debut album, arrived on Tuesday (April 10) and was received by Pitchfork as a remarkable debut that places her, without a doubt, in the pantheon of great rappers.

The review treats the Bronx MC as the new American Dream: a rags-to-riches story lived in the open, an answer to the question of how to be famous in the modern age. The album answers the sceptics while being showy and upfront.

According to the review, Cardi moves confidently from pop-rap to designer trap to sing-song ballads, always with personality and style. The result is a brazen record full of craft that turns her personal trajectory into stage material.
