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.

No saying what project this will be on if any or if it is his lead single off of his debut album. Only time will tell.

J. Cole has been droppin songs here and there lately and I can’t say I hate it! This dude always makes quality music and has ridiculous rhymes and proved it with his hit debut album Cole World: A Sideline Story. This time he’s going in on Kirko Bangz’ hit Drank In My Cup.
Swizz Beatz has a mixtape coming out soon that has the internet buzzing at the high amount of talent he has recruited for the project. The first leak is here and it is a banger. A$AP Rocky goes in on this beat created by the MVP of the MPC araabMUZIK.
