Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice's collab has finally arrived! The duo released 2023/06/12/nicki-minaj-ice-spice-announce-release-date-for-barbie-world/ on Friday (June 23) which interlopes the original "Barbie World" hitmakers, Aqua. The track will be featured in the upcoming Barbie film starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Emma Mackey, Simu Liu, Micheal Cera, Issa Rae, and more. Greta Gerwig directed the film.

Other "Barbies" and "Kens" will be announced at a later date, according to the most recent Instagram post. The soundtrack will be released on July 21, the same day the film hits theaters.

This is the pair's second collaboration. Nicki previously hopped on Ice Spice's "Princess Diana." The New York rapper released four remixes after their collab in April.

The original version of "Princess Diana" is from the Bronx native's debut EP Like...? which dropped in January. The six-track EP included three new offerings, including "Princess Diana," "Actin A Smoochie," and "Gangsta Boo" featuring Lil Tjay. It also featured "Bikini Bottom," "In Ha Mood," and her breakout hit "Munch (Feeln' U)."

However, Nicki has something big planned for her own Barbz as she is set to finally release her fifth studio album.

"10/20/23 The Album," the rapper wrote adding her signature pink bow emoji and a CD emoji to the tweet.

The Queens native previously teased her album and tour in May.

"Oh yes fractions warned, SFG did what fractions warned. Red Ruby Da Sleeze MOTHERED so hard & is now the standard. NM5 is the best thing that will come out of 2023 & will raise the bar to new & unreachable heights. NM5 tour will be hailed as 'genius'. That’s it & that’s all," Nicki tweeted Wednesday (May 10).

Nicki's last full-length project was in 2018 titled Queen.

The summer is here and many of the top artists in hip-hop and R&B are putting their bid in for "song of the summer." Over the course of May, we got drops from Beyoncé, J. Cole, Summer Walker, Kendrick Lamar, and several more.

Take a look at some of the best songs in hip-hop and R&B, ranked:

For DaBaby's May 2023 release, he takes inspiration from Jersey Club for his latest single "Shake Sumn." The firey twerk anthem is found on his three-song EP titled CALL DA FIREMAN.

H.E.R.'s "The Journey" is for anyone needing a song to lift their spirits going through a tough time. H.E.R. showcases her silky vocals with powerful lyrics on her newest release.

"All the times you thought you'd never make it through/Felt just like the world just turned its back on you/Didn't stop you/All the times you could've given in and given up/Times you didn't know if you were strong enough/Still you got through," she sings.

The City Girls, Diddy, and Fabolous are trying to have everyone "Act Bad" this summer. The flirty yet broadcaious record finds the four rappers campaigning for a summer of good times with no stress.

Toosie scored his first No. 1 with "Favorite Song" on Billboard's Hot Rap Chart in May. The original was released in February but the melodic rap hit got a second wind with the Khalid-assisted remix.

Janelle Monáe has been making headlines lately for her celebrating her sexier new image. Monáe's flirty summery single "Lipstick Lover" is just the start of her reign. Her LP The Age Of Pleasure is set to arrive 6/9.

Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem teamed up for "The Hillbillies." In the cousin duo's music video, they even got a cameo from Tyler, The Creator who confirmed that his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival after a three-year hiatus.

"Pelle Coat" is the second track from Lil Durk's latest album Almost Healed. For the project, the Chicago native tapped in guest appearances from Alicia Keys, J. Cole, Future, Kodak Black, 21 Savage, Chief Wuk, Rob49, Morgan Wallen, and the late Juice WRLD.

Summer Walker dropped her EP Clear 2: Soft Life and one of the fan favorites from the project was "Pull Up." On release day, Summer also released the music video to the song, which features her rumored boyfriend actor Lil Meech.

From Summer Walker's EP Clear 2: Soft Life, J. Cole made a guest appearance on the opening track "To Summer From Cole (audio hug)." On the record, Cole applauds Summer's hard work ethic and congratulates her on her newborn twins. The North Carolina rapper also teases that he is working on an album himself titled The Fall Off.

Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar have teamed up once again. The "America Has A Probem" remix was a surprise drop from the artists. The two have previously collabed on "Freedom" from Beyoncé's Lemonade and "Nile" from The Lion King: The Gift.

Lil Durk enlisted J. Cole for the lead single "All My Life" off his latest project Almost Healed. Durk admitted that Cole bodied him on the song, which is a rarity with his features.

"He smoked my a-- on that one, for one — barely," Smurk said when asked about his experience working with the Dreamville boss, per Complex. "That barely happens. But shout out to J. Cole, shout out to [Dr.] Luke, we made it happen."
