Queen is the fourth studio album by Nicki Minaj, released in August 2018 on Young Money / Cash Money / Republic and produced by Murda Beatz, Boi-1da, Mike Will Made It, StarGate, Lil Yachty, and Poo Bear. The album arrived amid significant controversy, including a public feud with Cardi B and mixed reception from critics who found the record uneven. Despite the turbulence, Queen debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and contained several standout performances, particularly on the rap-heavy tracks 'Hard White' and 'Barbie Dreams.' The album's release also coincided with the height of Minaj's ongoing battle to assert her dominance in a female rap landscape that had grown far more competitive since 2010. Queen is a flawed but fascinating record that captures an artist fighting to remain the defining female voice in hip-hop.
