New Hip-hop Releases: First Week of June, 2024
“SUE MEEE?”: BIA’s Blistering Cardi B Diss Track
2024 might be remembered as the year of rap beef, with BIA setting the stage with her latest release. The Massachusetts MC has dropped a fiery diss track titled “SUE MEEE?,” aimed squarely at Cardi B. The title refers to Cardi’s threat to sue BIA for spreading rumors about her cheating on Offset, which BIA previewed in her diss. While comparisons to the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef may be premature, the instrumental’s resemblance to “Like That” makes it difficult to ignore. Nevertheless, with BIA’s sharp wordplay, cool confidence, and fiery flow, “SUE MEEE?” largely meets the high expectations it sets. Listen to Cardi B’s latest: “Wanna Be Remix”
