Posted by HipHopDX – When it comes to the loyalty and power of any given artist’s core audience, Nicki Minaj’s dedicated Barbz fanbase is seemingly second to none. Their support recently helped boost the Queen rapper to a record-breaking 31 No. 1 singles on the U.S. iTunes Charts.
The Barbz have been afforded yet another opportunity to show out during this week’s edition of HipHopDX’s New Music Friday Singles coverage as Nicki has teamed up with veteran dancehall artist Spice and several international lyricists for her “Likkle Miss (The Fine Nine Remix)” posse-cut single.
New York hitmaker A Boogie Wit da Hoodie has also come through with a surprise for his listeners on both coasts with his Roddy Ricch -assisted “B.R.O. (Better Ride Out).”

(Better Ride Out),” if and when the time comes.

Now Nicki has recruited a world-class crew of collaborators for her new smash “Likkle Miss (THE FINE WINE REMIX).”
