Nicki Minaj ft. Drake, Young Jeezy & Nas - Champion

I was a little worried Nicki Minaj had completely disappeared into the world of bubblegum pop, but her new track "Champion" provides a glimmer of hope that she's still Hip Hop at heart. With Nas, Drake and Young Jeezy all contributing verses, I guarantee this one will be getting constant rotation on your iTunes.

DJ Khaled ft. Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne - Take It To The Head

It's warm outside, so you know what that means. DJ Khaled is back with the club hits. He keeps it in the family on "Take It To The Head," a smooth track which features a hook from Chris Brown and sixteens from Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne. Do you think this will have "I'm One One" power? Listen below and let me know what you think!

Bangladesh Signs Deal With Cash Money Records [VIDEO]

When I saw this headline come across my timeline, I couldn't believe my eyes. Bangladesh, who has claimed numerous times that Cash Money hasn't paid him for his hit productions for Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj, has now signed a deal with Cash Money. In a recent interview, he threw tons of shade at Nicki and her "assets", but he recently revealed to MTV that things were all good.

Nicki Minaj ft. 2 Chainz - Beez In The Trap

Nicki Minaj lets loose of the second Roman Reloaded track of the day as Angie Martinez DJ Clue Funk Flex? got the greenlight to premiere the 2 Chainz featured "Beez In the Trap." The video for this track has already been shot, and I think this is a perfect single to counter "Starships." April 3rd!

Bow Wow feat. Ace Hood - We Going Hard [Prod. by Cardiak]

Bow Wow's Underrated album has been pushed back yet again to April 10th, but I think it's a smart move since his single "Sweat" hasn't made a strong impact commercially. The album's second single "We Going Hard" featuring Ace Hood may do the trick. Listen to the Cardiak produced track below and hit up the comments with your opinions!

Although Mystikal is officially down with YMCMB, he continues to put out music with Birdman's estranged ex-partner Mannie Fresh. Not sure if this will make the album, but it's definitely a nice addition.

Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Wayne - Roman Reloaded

Funkmaster Flex dropped off Nicki Minaj's latest single "Roman Reloaded," which features Lil Wayne and reminds me of a lot "6'7'"since it's all about the verses. Is this better than her other singles? I think so. Is it a good track? I'll leave that to you to decide.
