On Saturday sources close to Minaj’s team told World Music Views that the remix for ‘Likkle Miss’ had been recorded and will be added to her ‘Queen Radio : Volume 1’ album which was released on Friday August 26 as a surprise to her fans.
The new track produced by Drop Top Records features an intro by Skeng followed by Nicki saying “Caribbean Girls Run It”. There is even a soundbite from Prime Minister Andrew Holness saying “Fully Dunce.”
Nicki, a born Trinidadian holds her own on the dancehall beat as she slides up and down code switching between patois and
“Dancehall need this the whole place shaky, boom boom that ass clapping on his d*ck all night/ he in Jamaica moving bricks or white/soon as I see him imma f*ck him on sight/,” she raps.
The beat sits perfectly for the remix as both artists are comfortable back and forth seducing each other on the track in an urban love affair.
Further down in her verse Minaj also says wittingly says that she is Skeng’s “Likkle Miss.”
Skeng is his usual aggressive and raspy flow as he extends himself into hip hop territory. He adds a new verse for the remix and makes an effort to rhyme slower for his new audience.
