The mixtape, Minaj's third, was previously unavailable on streaming services, however, after its release in 2009, her track "I Get Crazy" ranked at #20 on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/nick-jonas-set-to-host-the-billboard-music-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard</a> Hot Rap Songs. This success led to her discovery by Lil Wayne and landed her a deal with his record label Young Money Entertainment. Now, fans everywhere can hear all of the original songs as well as her more recent additions across streaming platforms.

On Monday, the rapper teased the project by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nicki-minaj-new-music-nude-instagram-crocs-chanel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">returning to Instagram</a> with a nude photo save for some <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/coco-chanel-apartment-restoration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> jewelry and a pair of pink <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/crocs-comeback-justin-bieber-celebrity-collaborations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crocs</a>. On the night of the project's release, Minaj took to Instagram Live to share her thoughts on the release. She explained, "I knew if I just re-released the mixtape without putting anything new, I knew y'all would cuss me the fuck out."
The "Itty Bitty Piggy" rapper also elaborated on why she chose to release the mixtape now without doing a full album rollout of cover art and press. "This is ain&rsquo;t no TikTok shit," said Minaj. "This is just to get back to the basics a little bit, to the essence of why I started rapping.&rdquo;
