Pardison Fontaine

As a songwriter, Fontaine made a major splash in 2017 via "Bodak Yellow," Cardi B's breakthrough number one hit single. Success behind the scenes continued with G-Eazy's number five hit "No Limit" and Rita Ora's "Girls," both of which featured Cardi, and Kanye West's Ye, containing five songs Fontaine had a hand in writing. Success continued in 2018 with "I Like It," a number one single for Cardi, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin. That September, Fontaine took a step forward as a headliner with "Backin' It Up," released on major-label Atlantic. Yet another Cardi collaboration, the rowdy single reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum. In 2019, Fontaine issued solo singles including "Rodman" and "Peach," as well as the album Under8ed, and in 2020 topped the Hot 100 with Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage Remix" (featuring Beyoncé) and Megan and Cardi's "WAP." "Savage Remix" subsequently won Best Rap Song at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. Over the next couple years, Fontaine issued solo singles such as "Wrong wit Me," "By Myself," and "Hoop Earrings," the last two of which were released independently. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
