Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2 is finally here, and the sonic pallet on display is definitely one of its most standout aspects. Whether you love it or hate it, its airy and dreamy presentation, accentuated by raw percussive elements and plenty of very direct samples and interpolations, fits quite well with the style that she's going for performance-wise on this project. As such, we're taking a look at the LP's production credits. There were many talented beatmakers that went above and beyond on this sequel, and you can tell the effort that they put in to craft their material. Let's see who could've been the key player here.
First off, the opener "Are You Gone Already" is produced by FINNEAS, as it's a very generous sample of Billie Eilish's "when the party's over." As far as other big names, Boi-1da has a couple of credits on Nicki Minaj's new album, namely "Needle" featuring Drake (a collab with YogiTheProducer) and "Pink Birthday" (with 116, Apollo Parker, and Fierce). Atl Jacob is anther big name, and probably the most dominant producer on this tracklist. He masterminded "FTCU," "Fallin 4 U" (with DB!), "Let Me Calm Down" featuring J. Cole (with Hendrix Smoke and Kuji), and the single "Last Time I Saw You."
