New Music: Nicki Minaj – “Pills N Potions”

RESPECT. Staff — Wed, 21 May 2014 17:53:39 +0000

Nicki Minaj has been counting down to the release of her new single, and it is finally here. “Pills N Potions” is the first single off her upcoming third album, The Pink Print, which will drop later this year. Nicki has stated this album will be more geared to a more hip-hop sound than the “Starships” music she is often known for. The Dr. Luke-produced track has a very soulful feel to it, and it’s definitely a different sound for Nicki. It has a love ballad feel to it which is far different from what we’ve heard from her lately on tracks like “Yaas Bitch,” and “Chi-raq.” Are you digging Nicki’s new stripped down sound? Get into it below.

Nicki Minaj had quite a day. First, she graced the cover of Complex’s 10th anniversary issue. Then, she premiered her new Chris Brown-assisted cut, “Right By My Side.” Everything was set up for DJ Clue to play another joint off Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded later tonight at 7pm. Funkmaster Flex, however, was having none of that. Flex got his hands on the cut first and the record graced Hot97’s airways before anyone knew what hit them. Flex fired off some tweets and Clue responded.
