New Music: Nicki Minaj, Drake, Big K.R.I.T., Obie Trice, Eminem, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, & MORE!
Trying to keep pace with he never ending flood of new music isn’t easy, but it must be done! Nicki Minaj has been dropping music this week in anticipation for her new album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded which is set to release on April 2nd. Her newest single features Chris Brown and will surely be all over the radio soon enough. The other track she’s dropped features the one and only 2 Chainz! This track is much more raw and Nicki gets back to rapping. A much more “urban” song as the wikipedia page refers to the single. Regardless, I doubt you’ll be hearing this track on the radio anytime soon. These tracks are stream only but will be available on iTunes for purchase very soon.
