Nicki Minaj has released several versions of her adaptation. For the “Queen Mix” she invited a whole range of female MCs: JT from the City Girls, Katie Got Bandz, Bia, Akbar V and Maliibu Miitch.

Yasmo & die Klangkantine – 100K feat. Mira Lu Kovacs
From dishwasher to millionaire, having made it out of the gutter alone and onto the golden throne of the music universe with lots of bling bling. With her current single, the Austrian rapper and musician Yasmo deconstructs this myth, which is the content of many classic rap songs. In reality, there is a large number of people behind the success who make a significant contribution to the career – from the producer to the tour manager. Yasmo is aware of this and knows that she owes her musical success not only to herself but to many other people in her team.
