The full playlist: 14 songs to play after “LIKE CARDI”
1. Valiant, Stalk Ashley — “Narcissistic”
The most direct sibling to “LIKE CARDI”: the same swaggering register, with Stalk Ashley trading bars alongside Valiant. If the Cardi comparison started anywhere, it started with this pairing. Our breakdown: “Narcissistic” meaning. Watch the official video (ValiantMusicVEVO).
2. Valiant — “Dunce Cheque”
The blueprint for the modern Jamaican flex record — unbothered, cocky, built around one unforgettable hook. Play it straight after and the two records sound like they were cut in the same room. Watch the official video (ValiantMusicVEVO).
3. Stalk Ashley — “BRIXX”
Her hardest cut from the debut album Stalky the Bratt, and the best evidence that the confidence on “LIKE CARDI” was not a one-off pose. Watch the official video (Stalk Ashley).
4. Cardi B — “Bodak Yellow”
The obvious homework. Not because Cardi is on Stalk Ashley’s record — she is not — but because this is the song that made ‘like Cardi’ a usable shorthand for a woman announcing she has arrived. Watch the official video (Cardi B).
5. Skillibeng — “Whap Whap” ft. Fivio Foreign & French Montana
Dancehall meeting New York rap head-on, from the artist who turns up twice in her own collaboration catalogue. Same instinct: keep the patois, borrow the rap architecture. Watch the official video (SkillibengVEVO).
6. Stalk Ashley x Skillibeng — “Really Like U”
Softer on the surface, just as sure of itself underneath. A useful contrast for hearing how she switches registers. Watch the official video (Stalk Ashley).
7. Jada Kingdom — “WiN”
Pure self-belief as a subject. Where “LIKE CARDI” flexes outward, this one turns the same energy into something closer to a personal creed. Watch the official video (Jada Kingdom).
8. Shenseea — “Blessed” feat. Tyga
The crossover template a lot of this generation is working from — Kingston delivery, US rap guest, glossy video. Essential context for where Stalk Ashley is aiming. Watch the official video (SHENSEEAVEVO).
9. Megan Thee Stallion — “Cobra”
The rap-side counterpart. Different genre, identical refusal to be talked down to, and a similar taste for a hook that doubles as a mission statement. Watch the official video (Megan Thee Stallion).
10. Spice, Sean Paul, Shaggy — “Go Down Deh”
The elder-statesman version of the party flex, and a reminder that Sean Paul — who guests on Stalky the Bratt — has been bridging these worlds for twenty years. Watch the official video (SpiceOfficialVEVO).
11. Teejay — “Drift”
The 2023 record that proved a Jamaican single could go global on vibe alone. Same short, repeatable, made-for-clips construction. Watch the official video (Teejay).
12. Byron Messia — “Talibans”
Cold, minimal and enormous. Pairs well with “LIKE CARDI” if you want the tempo to drop without the confidence dropping with it. Watch the official video (Byron Messia TV).
13. Nigy Boy — “Continent”
Rvssian-produced and built for sound systems. The sharpest example of the current wave Stalk Ashley is riding alongside. Watch the official video (Rvssian).
14. Stalk Ashley — “Young”
Where to finish. The earlier, hungrier version of the same voice — worth hearing as the setup to everything that followed. Our read: “Young” meaning. Watch the official video (Stalk Ashley).
How this list was built
Every pick had to clear three bars. It had to share the posture of “LIKE CARDI” — confident, unbothered, rap-adjacent — rather than just share a genre tag. It had to be a record a Stalk Ashley listener would plausibly reach for next, which meant leaning Jamaican with a handful of US rap anchors rather than the other way round. And the video or audio link had to resolve to an official artist, VEVO, producer or label channel; fan re-uploads and lyric channels were rejected outright.
Four of the fourteen are her own or feature her, which is deliberate — the fastest way to like a song more is usually to hear what else the artist can do. The rest map the neighbourhood she operates in.
