Nicki Minaj Drops New Rick James-Sampling Single 'Super Freaky Girl'

Hip-hop superstar Nicki Minaj recently released a raunchy new single, "Super Freaky Girl."

The track, which sees Minaj showing off her freaky side, samples Rick James' 1981 hit "Super Freak."

"I can lick it, I can ride it while you slippin' and slidin' / I can do all 'em little tricks, and keep the d- up inside it / You can smack it, you can grip it, you can go down and kiss it / And every time he leave me 'lone, he always tell me he miss it," Minaj raps in the raunchy opening verse, over the instantly-recognizable riff from James' hit.

Minaj recently teased the track with a video on social media, to which the official account for the late Rick James responded, "Banger."

"Super Freaky Girl" which is co-produced by Aaron Joseph, Dr. Luke, Malibu Babie, and Vaughn Oliver, is Minaj's first since the arrival of "We Go Up" with Fivio Foreign in March.

Before that, she released "Blick Blick" with Coi Leray, "Bussin" and "Do We Have A Problem?" (both featuring Lil Baby) this year.

Beyoncé Teams With The Isley Brothers On 'Make Me Say It Again, Girl'

Beyoncé has teamed up with The Isley Brothers for a re-work of the band's 1975 The Heat Is On classic "Make Me Say It Again Girl, Pts. 1 & 2."

The new version, "Make Me Say It Again, Girl," is set to appear on the Isley Brothers' upcoming album, which is scheduled to arrive later this year.

The track, which arrived on Friday (August 12), is the first ever collaboration between Ronald Isley and Beyoncé and marks Ronald's first release of the year.

Isley revealed in an interview with Billboard that he "met and talked to Beyoncé when she was just getting started with Destiny's Child," and that "working with Beyoncé was one of the first things [he] thought about" when he began crafting his new album.

Isley's wife, Kandy, added, "Tina Knowles-Lawson [Beyoncé's mother] was very influential in getting this record started and getting it to the point where we are now. She has a love for the Isley Brothers and her daughter grew up listening to this type of music. All we can say is that God's hands was on this whole project."

Blondie Share Previously Unreleased Home Recording Of 'Mr. Sightseer'

Blondie recently shared a previously unreleased home recording of "Mr. Sightseer," which is set to be included in their upcoming collection, Blondie: Against The Odds 1974-1982.

The "Mr. Sightseer" track, which has been remastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Michael Graves at Osiris Studio, serves as the B-side to another recently released rare gem "Moonlight Drive."

The band originally recorded the song in 1978 on a TEAC TCA-43 four-track reel-to-reel at the residence of Chris Stein and Debbie Harry.

"The lyric is not good at all," Harry joked in a press release. "The song's not too bad. It's just a little simplistic. It didn't ever get really developed or finished."

The Blondie: Against The Odds 1974-1982 collection, due out on August 26 via UMC and The Numero Group, will feature 124 tracks and 36 previously unissued recordings, including takes from the band's first-ever basement studio session, alternate versions, outtakes, and demos.

The collection also delivers all of Blondie's first six studio albums, with each being remastered from the original analog tapes and vinyl cut at Abbey Road Studios.
