The Making Of Cardi B’s “Ring” With Scribz Riley | Deconstructed

Cardi B’s single “Ring” is one of the many hits from her debut album ‘Invasion of Privacy.’ The Kehlani collaboration peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in April and its recently released music video has garnered over 27 million YouTube views in a little over two weeks. On the track, Cardi and Kehlani address a tumultuous relationship over production from Needlz and Scribz Riley. The latter producer, who is known for collaborating with artists such as MØ, Tove Lo, H.E.R., and Khalid, spoke with Genius about the making of “Ring.”

[abl]

i swear to god i thought those "ohhhh" vocals at the beginning were kehlani's

[afrobeatsavenue.]

This Was My Favorite Song Off Cardi B's Album. I Actually Thought The Vocal Sample And The Piano Was Kehlani Doing Some Sick Harmonies!!

[destroytmusicagan]

This series is very inspirational for any up incoming music producer and this feels like a classic 90's R&B song as with most Kehlani songs.

[ouwnickiddy]

i can’t tell you how many times i screamed “you don’t hit my line no more” whenever he played the beat

[NISHANmusic]

Desmond Dennis sings harmonies in the best way possible

[michaelblackbeats]

He's right, simplicity is key when it comes to beat making.

[misterbwa]

Whenever I see artists put together the songs on this series it makes me see just how intricate some songs are and how much thought goes into them. it's really interesting.

[lalakandas]

That signal piano complements the vocals so so well 😍

[badredZZ]

Nice to see an RnB’ish episode on deconstructed for a change

[guapx]

thursdays are the best day of the week because of this series

[SticksAandstonesBozo]

That bass made the song. And the side chain by far is so under used in r and b and hip hop. Fucking amazing beat. Probably my top beat for 2018.
