FADER PREMIERE

Here's the colossal official remix of "My Nigga," the lead single from YG's March 18th Def Jam LP, My Krazy Life. First teased at a listening session last November, it features a new YG verse plus Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, fellow Def Jam-signee Rich Homie Quan and NICKI MINAJ. So good to hear Minaj on another California slap, flipping the hook to "my bitches"—and the track into the female power anthem it was never explicitly intended to be—with the cocky ease of someone lounging by a pool. Produced by DJ Mustard, "My Nigga"'s sanitized radio version ("My Hitta") broke the top 20 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart last year, no small achievement in a year when not a single black artist topped that chart.
