There's no album title yet, and there's no official release date, but as we like to do here in Beastonia....let's consult the twitter-bible. Yesterday, Nicki Minaj tossed out 2 successive tweets (here and here), stating the date of "November 23". Why so relevant? Read on(ika)...lol, I made a pun that will make sense after you do scroll down a spell.
Earlier in the morning half of yesterday, Minaj spoke with MTV News and made mention that yes, the album would be out before the end of the year, no there is no album title, and no there is no official release date as of yet. Then twitter came to be, and all was right with the world.
As Minaj notes in the video clip, which you can watch below: “When people hear the album, they’re going to get to know Onika [the singer's birth-given name]. And no one knows Onika yet… As of now you’ll know Nicki and you’ll know Roman. Roman is my crazy alter-ego. Roman Zolanski, or you can call her Roman ZolanSKY, but you’ll meet Onika before the year ends.”
Awesome. Get ready. Onika Roman Zolanski Minaj's album is coming.

Ever since first laying eyes and ears on The-Dream's freaky foursome, Electrik Red, I've been an immediate supporter and oft-times rampant fan of their smooth R&B blends. Their debut album, How to Be a Lady: Volume 1 even went so far as to land on my BE[a]ST Albums of 2009 list.
Far from us to call it fate, but just yesterday, I threw out a random comment on twitter, linking up to my favorite cut of theirs, Friend Lover. So in waking up this morning, and finding out that a new single is in the works, complete with a teaser video, the tweenage beast in us jumped for ever-lovin' joy.
I'm That Chick is full of minimalistic beats and muted trumpet squibbles, seemingly inspired by Jamaican dancehall lifestylin' and wilin'. Quite a departure from their freshman release, the song (in it's 2-minte preview form) has our interest piqued to the highest power. I mean, P is For Power, right? Insert *winkface here.
I'm such a nerd. These gals are not. Watch the teaser video now.
