After announcing ‘The Pink Print’ earlier this year, Nicki Minaj had many wondering if she was going to follow Beyonce with the non-traditional surprise release. It turns out the answer is no.
Barring some unexpected curveball, The Young Money rhymer is getting ready to release her highly anticipated album on Nov. 28, according to Billboard.
Minaj certainly has the momentum going for her with ‘Anaconda‘s’ success. The song’s video broke the record of most views in a 24-hour period ever on VEVO. The single currently sits at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, beating ‘Super Bass’ for her highest charting single.
‘The Pink Print’s November release puts her in competition with Eminem’s ‘Shady XV‘ project. This isn’t the first time Minaj released a project against high-caliber competition. Her debut LP, ‘Pink Friday,’ also dropped in November. Although it was a commercial success, it was ultimately overshadowed by Kanye West’s fifth album, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.’
Regardless of circumstance, ‘The Pink Print’ is going to be one of the most talked about releases of the year when it drops.
