“I’ve gotten great feedback from artists I look up to and never thought I’d work with. They’re already in line to be on the project. But it’s like, ‘Do I want to put out a debut album with a thousand features on it or do I wanna finally showcase Nicki?’ I’m not worried about features at all because I’ve been blessed to come in the game and work with top-notch artists from the inception of my career.
I’m in the very beginning stage of the recording process of my album. I have songs that where I am now, they aren’t a great representation of me to where I’m at musically. I wanna start from scratch but I do have my single and it’ll be out. It’s gonna be ‘Massive Attack.’
With the album, just like with my mixtape, I never like to rush it. With the album, I think it’s more important that people get accustomed to seeing a female rapper again. Before I drop an album, people need to come out and see. People don’t even know what a female rapper does. We’re so not used to seeing it. It’s nonexistent in categories. We don’t get nominated. I need to work the people up to accepting a female rapper again and accepting my style and all of that — then the album will come. Honestly, I’d love to put an album out this year, but I don’t believe in rushing things either. We’ll see.”

i look at it like this!! lets admit people nicky is hot!!! she been hot since she was doing underground mixtapes. the girl has earned her rights to get props for what she do. lyrically u cant compare her to lil kim or any other female artist that was out there> some of the work that nicy has done is str8 up whats up. everybody wanna hate on her cuz thats typical for society to do that! people give props where its due. as far as a debut album i will agree to it to finally get chance to experience the real nicky without her featuring on other artist work.
