A$AP Ferg, Nicki Minaj and MadeinTYO’s latest single “Move Ya Hips” has finally received a visual. The trio dropped the track a few weeks back after Ferg teased it on Twitter. In the cinematic thriller, a sex bot flips on the man who purchased her.
A$AP Rocky and Nicki alluded to the track’s upcoming release a few days before the single hit streaming platforms on Twitter. Her tweet read, “Flacko, I heard it was coming Thursday but I could be wrong.”
Originally, the single dropped alongside an infomercial-themed visualizer. The video was clearly inspired by the ‘80s as it features women wearing neon bodysuits, headbands and high-rise socks.
Ferg’s aggressive first verse is an ideal start for the energetic track. Elsewhere, Nicki who has previously toyed with retiring was the highlight of the entire single. Over the mellow beat, she commands attention and raps about Juice, her designer favorites, her coveted hairstyles, and even manages to namedrop Queens.
Here’s a highlight from Nicki’s verse:
“Saint Laurent all on my shades, then I pull up in a cherry Mercedes, yay/Strawberry shortcake hair, Chinese bangs with my two braids, ayy.”
Nicki and Ferg’s first collab was on the Harlem rapper’s 2017 single “Plain Jane Remix” which went on to become certified four times platinum. He hasn’t released any new music since he appeared on Big Sean’s “Bezerk” last September. We’re sure you didn’t miss Nicki and Tekashi 6ix9ine’s single “Trollz” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
According to Rolling Stone, Ferg teased a sequel to his last EP Floor Seats might be on the horizon.
