"Wish Wish" is a song by American record producer DJ Khaled featuring American rapper Cardi B and Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage, taken from Khaled's 2019 studio album Father of Asahd. It was released on May 17, 2019, as track two on its parent album.[1] This song marked the second time each artist had worked with another, their firsts being: Cardi B and 21 Savage on "Bartier Cardi" (2017), 21 Savage and DJ Khaled on "Iced Out My Arms" (2017), and DJ Khaled and Cardi B on "Dinero" (2018).
Critical reception[edit]
Carl Lamarre of Billboard noted that the song established 21 Savage as a "go-to feature" and that his appearance is met with "unmatched wit".[2] Thomas Hobbs of NME complimented producer Tay Keith, "who consistently takes the aesthetic of John Carpenter horror scores and translates it into hood anthems", while noting Cardi B and 21 Savage "both make an artform out of gross brags".[3] A.D. Amorosi at Variety wrote that Cardi's presence on the song is the most notable and that she elevated it "into a tuneful, spicy trap epic".[4]
Music video[edit]
Both collaboration and video were first teased on February 12, 2019.[5] The music video was released on May 20, 2019, along with a series of videos from Khaled's album Father of Asahd. It was directed by Eif Rivera and co-directed by Khaled.[6] The video shows Cardi B dancing in a black catsuit and Chanel swimsuit, as well as joint shots by Khaled and 21 Savage.[7] It also features product placement by Fashion Nova.[8]
