Young Cardi latest single “Worth It”

What would you do if you had everything money could buy? Would it cure emotional issues, depression, or the past? Hailing from Billionaires Playground in Monaco, rapper Young Cardi tackles this existential question on his latest single, Worth It. Utilizing clever metaphors and colorful imagery, Young Cardi details the contrast to escapism money can afford while trying to mask an underlying depression issue. “I got problems I got issues, grab the bottle tonight.” These vices are further illustrated by; “Assumptions, drug consumption, In the end, I feel like nothing.” Young Cardi delivers these thoughts on this clever archetype in a style that maintains the overall sound of the selected hip-hop genre. Moreover, what makes Worth It really stands out against the other derivative tracks with the repeated drum snare beats is Young Cardi’s ability to incorporate a secondary lyrical theme within a relatively short track duration. “Is love real, cause I’m looking for a purpose.”

Accompanied by a vivid and illuminating video, Worth It shares scenery of the high-life, detailing the dream-like environments people strive to achieve as they amass wealth. The consequential thematic elements are further illustrated by the attractive, bikini-clad woman in the hot tub, expending lustful glances yet with a slight look behind her shoulder, as in an ulterior motive. Apart from the visual appeal of the video, Worth It would be an excellent addition to any Urban, Hip-Hop commercial radio playlist. The overall message being portrayed, coupled with the solid, on-key vocal performance by Young Cardi, will allow for repeated plays. Worth It would also be a great addition to any club’s DJ playlist, the bottom end provides a deep groove while the main melody provides a danceable presence guaranteeing Young Cardi many plays. Worth It is a very enjoyable track; the clever lyricism contrasted with the simple beat makes this song easy to consume yet still challenging to the listener as we all ask ourselves; What if?
