Jay-Z’s “Imaginary Players” Sees Over 300% Streaming Increase After Cardi B Sample
Jay-Z's "Imaginary Players" is getting new life. According to Complex, the classic Hov track has seen a +305% increase in Spotify streams in the United States since Cardi B released her single, “Imaginary Playerz.” Cardi’s song prominently samples Jay’s 1997 track; and “Imaginary Playerz” dropped as a prerelease single from her upcoming album Am I the Drama?
Jay-Z’s song was never released as an actual single, but was a standout track on his sophomore album In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. “Imaginary Players” was also memorably featured in the 1997 Roc-A-Fella home video release Streets Is Watching.
