Recorded at the Red Bull studios for the brand’s series 20before15, Down 4 So Long (Remix) is the most bizarre yet incredible collaboration of the month.

Warning: Nicki Minaj has a lot of feelings. We’ve seen Nicki Minaj come out in wigs of every color, we’ve heard her lyrics about how she owns the rap game and that she’s on top and unbeatable. She’s a character who almost crossed into cartoonish territory. On December 15th, she left all of that for […]
