This coming Wednesday, Nicki Minaj will release the first single to her forthcoming album, The Pink Print. The Queens raptress has been getting back to her rapping roots in recent releases like the Lil Herb-assisted “Chi-Raq” and Soulja Boy-produced “Yasss B*tch,” as opposed to the more pop-like sound she toyed with on her sophomore and debut albums. Taking to Instagram, Nick revealed the super-sexy artwork for “Pills N Potions,” keeping it simple in a white tank top and minimal makeup – but still making a statement with visible nipples and bunny ears. Nick has toned down all the wigs and costumes she became known for upon her entry to the game, but the sexiness she exudes has only been amplified by doing so. “It feels very uplifting and it feels very soulful,” Nicki told Rap-Up TV about the song on the red carpet of the Billboard awards last night. “It’s a great, I feel, indicator of what The Pink Print will feel like in terms of the storyline of that song.” Check out the interview below, and the full artwork in the gallery.

As of late, Nicki has been rocking a very natural look, a vast difference from the wigs and crazy costumes that mainstream America got to know her with. Her latest musical releases (like “Chi-Raq” and “Lookin A$$ N*gga“) have also been toned down, swapping the accents and crazy voices for a more gritty flow – reminiscent of the sound the Queens raptress exhibited on her debut mixtape, Playtime Is Over. In a new sit-down with MTV about ‘The Other Woman,’ Nick reveals that this isn’t by accident! “I went so far to the other side that there’s only one place to go from there,” Nicki said of the switch from crazy outfits to a more natural look. “You can either continue doing costumes or you can just say, ‘Hey guess what? This will shock them even more. Doing nothing will shock them even more.’” And as far as her sound, we can expect NOT to hear any “Super Bass” type records on The Pink Print. (Though I…
