Cardi B took over NPR Music's Tiny Desk in leather pants and a power blazer, drawing one of the biggest crowds the office has seen as she ran through a hit-packed set. She opened with the haunting synths and confidence of "Hello," moved into a reimagined "ErrTime," then shifted to the vulnerable "Man of Your Word" and "Be Careful" while keeping a humble, humorous tone. Cardi joked "Change the vibes, change the vibes" before bringing the party back with "Up" into "AH HA." To close she played two pivotal catalog songs, the breakout "Bodak Yellow" and the boogaloo-heavy "I Like It." By the end she was swinging her hips with the crowd, left beaming with gratitude, and handed out hugs to a few audience members.
