Nicki Minaj - Starships (Produced by RedOne)

Signed to Lil Wayne's Cash Money Records, Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj has come a long way since appearing on Young Money's "Bedrock" as a featured artist. Nicki has emerged as one of the biggest talents in hip-hop out there at the moment. With a plethora of appearances on tracks by artists such as David Guetta, Jay Sean, Drake and Rihanna as well as a multi-platinum album under her belt, it seems that the sky is the limit for this innovative and eccentric female rapper. The first official single to be taken from her second album "Roman Reloaded" is a step in a different direction for Minaj, into the uncharted territory of the mainstream 'club banger'. Away from the fundamentally hip-hop cuts from her debut offering, RedOne produced "Starships" is an infectiously catchy hands in the air electro-pop affair with a Katy Perry-esque guitar riff and massive dance breakdown. I predict big things for this track!
