Nicki Minaj will release her second studio album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded on Valentine’s Day next year, but the first single she’s dropping from the record, “Roman in Moscow,” isn’t exactly Valentine material.

Nicki drops into one of her more unhinged rap personas on this one – Roman, who you probably remember from Pink Friday highlight / Lil Kim dis anthem “Roman’s Revenge,” is back, and, well, in comparison, let’s just let Nicki tell you what’s up: “your favorite rapper probably sucks.” Lightning fast flow, complete mastery of however complex that beat might be, schizophrenic lapsing into enough different voices to blow away more than a few impression comedians – Nicki’s dangerous, compelling persona just serves to make her talent way more interesting. Check it out.
