Produced by Polow Da Don, the single begins with verse from Lil Wayne, before the songstress takes over and praises her man for being the perfect ying to her yang. Listen beneath:

Your pain is her pleasure. Hip-hop superstar Nicki Minaj takes a dark turn in the disturbingly twisted music video for "Only", the third single lifted from her third studio album 'The PinkPrint'. The single features Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown.

Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, the video sees the 32-year-old playing a dominatrix and showing off her assets to her fellow Young Money artists, while her "Love More" collaborator sports contacts and a grill as he makes a haunting appearance. Watch the video beneath:

Nicki Minaj, despite the slow sales of her 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up' album, pushes forward with her promotional efforts for the set by unleashing the video for her latest single "High School", which features Lil' Wayne.

After providing "Motivation" last year, Kelly Rowland reteams with Lil' Wayne on "Ice", the lead single from her forthcoming fourth project, due later this year.

The seductive single, which was written by Sean Garrett, does stand as a solid offering. However, it is a road that has been traveled by Rowland before and the decision to add Wayne is arguably the track's biggest flaw, given it will only leave more room for comparisons to their first hit collaboration.  Take a listen beneath:

R&B starlet Keyshia Cole has finally issued the full version of, "Enough of No Love", featuring Lil' Wayne, which serves as the first single from her upcoming album 'Woman to Woman'.  The single will be available via iTunes on July 10th.

Co-written by the singer with Elijah Blake,  the single actually works well with its thumping beat and catchy hook that should fare well on urban radio. Her vocals aren't remarkable and the feature wasn't needed, but still it works.  Listen below:

The Young Money - Cash Money family continues to grow. After adding Limp Bizkit and Christina Milian to their program, it appears that the label is ironing out a deal to sign R&B songbird Ashanti - before the release of her new album.

Last year, the Grammy-winning singer signed a distribution deal with eOne and has since released a new single "The Woman You Love", which coincidentally features another newly-signed Cash Money artist Busta Rhymes. Details below:

Nicki Minaj returns to her rap roots and attempts to silence critics on "Roman Reloaded", the title track from her new album 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'.

The song, which features Lil' Wayne, offers nothing new on the lyrical front from the Harajuku Barbie, but on the steam of hot punch lines and a killer verse from Wayne - it is easily the best offering that has surfaced from the new set thus far.
