This Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and Bruno Mars Mash-Up Will Blow Your Mind
Producer amorphous transforms Bruno Mars' 'Finesse' with an all-female remix...
If you're anything like us here at MTV UK then you'll be obsessed with Bruno Mars and Cardi B's 'Finesse'.
The Bardi-assisted remix and its ultra-nostalgic, In Living Colour-inspired '90s video dropped late Wednesday night and has quickly rose to the top end of the charts worldwide.
Cardi B's ebullient verse lights the song up from the jump and it has inspired producer Amorphous to reimagine the track as an all-female rap anthem with Nicki Minaj, Left Eye and Lil' Kim added to the mix.

Amorphous, real name Jimir Reece Davis, is a US-based producer who broke out last year thanks to a number of genius mash-ups and originals, and this is one of his best creations yet.
Taking iconic verses from Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, TLC's Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes, Lil' Kim, Queen Latifah and Foxy Brown, the ladies dominate alongside Cardi B while Bruno keeps the finesse going with the chorus.
With Nicki's guest verse on Diddy's 'Hello Good Morning' and Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes' legendary verse on 'U Know What's Up', this is the ultimate female rapper remix.
The best part of all? He even got Bruno Mars' seal of approval, as the 'Treasure' singer liked a clip of the remix on Twitter. Amazing.
Amorphous is currently working on his debut album Blue Jay, to be released later this year, with a number of mystery artists.
His remixes and mash-ups consistently prove he has an ear for matching melodies and production, and we are so excited to see what he does next.
