REVIEW: Nicki Minaj Blows Away Juicy J On 'Low' [LISTEN]

Today rapper Juicy J shared his new single "Low," which you can listen to below. "Low" is the first single to be released from Juicy J's upcoming album The Hustle Continues, and though he has stated in interviews that he plans to minimize the amount of guest rappers on his next album, he seems to be breaking that promise with this new single, which features Nicki Minaj, Lil Bibby, and Young Thug.

"Low" features some admirably minimalist production, giving the beats and synths plenty of room to breathe and fill out the space on their own. Juicy J's verses are delivered with a pretty simple and effective flow, but he might actually be the least interesting part of the song. Lil Bibby comes in with some manic, Autotuned rhymes that immediately grab your attention, but the real star here is, of course, Minaj, who tends to steal any song she's featured on. While Juicy's rhymes are pretty laidback, Nicki's completely blow everything apart, spitting furiously with her trademark taunt.

Though no release date is set yet for The Hustle Continues, Juicy J told Rolling Stone back in January that the album would be coming out sometime in September. "I did some production myself," he went on to say, "I've been doing this for a while, so I'm just stepping my game up and letting people know what I've been going through, through my whole career, from being in the Three 6 Mafia to doing the solo stuff."
