Young Money is a force to be reckoned with, churning out massive hits such as “Bedrock.” Members include Cash Money superstar and Young Money CEO Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Mack Maine (YM President), Lil Twist, Jae Millz, Tyga, Gudda Gudda, Shanell, Lil Chuckee and T-Streetz.

Both as member of the Young Money group and as a solo artist, Nicki Minaj is the grand dame of rap in 2010, and her anticipated debut album will seal the deal when it drops in the fall. She’s proven her skills across the boards as a featured artist on Lil Wayne’s “Knockout,” Usher’s “Little Freak” and Robin Thicke’s “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy,” which she performed with Thicke on the Late Show with David Letterman. Her appearance on the Ludacris smash “My Chick Bad” was an instant sensation. She continues to gain accolades, garnering more than 4.5 million YouTube hits sharing a bill with Mariah Carey on “Up Out My Face.”

Nicki Minaj’s unique musical flare, eye-popping style, and voluptuous silhouette were first recognized by Lil Wayne, who brought her into the folds of his Young Money imprint. She quickly fell into place, sharing a fearless work ethic and developing distinct characters in rhymes that set her skills apart from the average rapper. Since signing with Young Money, Nicki, a Trinidadian native who grew up in Queens, New York, has swiftly moved to the forefront of the music industry. She’s also turning heads in TV land as she gears up for her 2010 BET Award performance
