Cardi B hit the stage Sunday night for a show in her tri-state home area. She’s the rightful headliner of New York radio station Hot 97’s “Summer Jam," the equivalent of sitting on TV’s fabled Iron Throne.

Cardi, of course, couldn’t make “Summer Jam” last year because she was literally a month away from giving birth to her baby girl Kulture. While she’s rocked stages across the world, you know that Summer Jam has to be extra special. What 26-year-old NYC bred rapper hasn’t dreamed of headlining Summer Jam? Her husband Offset was also on the bill along with his group Migos, making it an extra special family affair.

This was likely the last time we’ll see Cardi onstage for a while, as her body is still healing from liposuction and breast lift surgeries. She spoke about suffering through physical complications from the procedures a couple of days ago in Instagram live, citing her plastic surgeon strongly advise she take a pause from concerts until she’s fully recuperated. “I hate canceling shows because I love money. I'm a money addicted,” she lamented. The last time Cardi performed was a couple of weeks ago at the Hangout Fest at Alabama’s Gulf Shores. Since then, a myriad of her schedule performance dates has either been cancelled altogether or postponed.

“I get paid a lot of money, a lot of money for these shows. A lot of money,” she continued to explain. “I'm canceling millions of dollars in shows, but health is wealth, so I have to do what I have to do."

At “Hangout Fest,” she teased new music coming out this summer and she just dropped a new single “Press.” The artwork is grabbing just as much attention than the actual music itself. On the cover she appears nude coming out of court surrounded by media cameramen. Another photo of the single art shows the Bronx native wearing nothing but handcuffs. The last photo released shows Cardi clothed, still wearing cuffs but sharing a pose similar to a photo of notorious serial killer Aileen Wuornos who murdered several men from 1989 to 1990 in Florida. Her grizzly exploits were portrayed on the big screen in the film “Monster.”

“Monsta's gon' tear it up,” she says as the song begins. “Bardi!”

Cardi keeps her energy high on the chorus: “Press, press, press, press, press./
Cardi don't need more press./
Kill 'em all, put them hoes to rest./
Walk in, bulletproof vest./
Please tell me who she gon' check./
Murder scene, Cardi made a mess./
Pop up, guess who, bitch?...”

Here at LivexLive, we love to count stuff down. In fact, we offer a killer assortment of weekly shows that run through the top songs in every major genre. For example, we just launched the latest edition of the Weekly ROCK Countdown (and, yes, we put the word “rock” in all cap’s for a reason). Five interesting things about the countdown follow, and you can check out the whole, massive thing right here.

Thing #1: Slipknot scored one of two debuts this week, as “Unsainted” slipped in at #40. They revealed their new masks last week, and joined our countdown this week. Nice work, Slipknot.

Thing #2: I Prevail made the biggest jump, soaring from #37 to #22 with “Breaking Down.” The song raises awareness about depression for men and how it impacts relationships. It’s deep. And it’s kind of pretty. But it still rocks, so shut up.

Thing #3: Bad Wolves continue to kick serious ass. “Remember When” has held down the top slot for six weeks now.

Thing #4: Rival Sons have been stuck at #2 for the entire six weeks that Bad Wolves have been at #1. Don’t feel bad for them, though, they just announced a 12-city fall tour with Stone Temple Pilots.

Thing #5: Sevendust cannot be destroyed. Their track “Dirty” has been on the countdown for twenty consecutive weeks. That’s nuts, and they’re still moving up, jumping two slots to #22

There are plenty of other things to learn on the Weekly ROCK Countdown. So join us and learn. And rock.
