Fresh from the news of an official tracklist for Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album, another track from the record has leaked.
The latest cut from Pink Friday II: Roman Reloaded to see the dim lights of the Internet is ‘Right by the Side’, a collaboration with Chris Brown (along with Nas, Cam’ron, David Guetta, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Drake and more, one of countless stars that appear on the album). As a general rule Minaj’s album material has proved far soppier than the rough-neck mixtape material that she made her name on, but like the original Pink Friday‘s good moments, ‘By Your Side’ features a winning combination of pop sensibility and weirdness that’s unmistakably Minaj.
Someone else in the news of late is Cassie – the Bad Boy singer [above] recently returned with a new single, ‘King of Hearts’, and has just followed that by taking the hook on a new track by Machine Gun Kelly, ‘Warning Shot’. Remember her chat about wanting to work with Skrillex? Well ‘Warning Shot’ features a dubstep breakdown, so maybe that’s Cassie getting it out of her system. Fingers crossed.
You can stream both tracks below.
