Experience the album “NAIKI” titled after her own nickname. Nicki shares, “the album is called Naiki, which is what the people who know me call me. Everyone calls me Nicki or Nicole or Nicki Nicole, and only the people who know me very, very closely call me Naiki. Naiki is the person I am in my day-to-day life, without fears, without attachments. She’s the one who steps forward and says what needs to be said. And I feel like this album captures that.  It captures the Naiki who takes risks, who’s making the genres she likes, who’s releasing what she’s wanted to release for a long time…”

In the cinematic album trailer – on @nicki.nicole – Nicki presents a powerful meeting between Nicki from 2024 and her 2019 self. Nicki revisits her origins to reignite her essence “channel[ing] that same fiery spark…” and “return[ing] to her rap roots, spitting verses with the commanding bravado that got her here in the first place,” as shared in a recent feature on VARIETY.

In her defiant new single “SHEITE” (watch here), Nicki nods to her break-out hit  ‘Wapo Traketero’ through bicycles and other imagery calling back to her roots to further signify her return to her early sound. With a mix of vulnerability and confidence, Nicki seamlessly flows between rap verses and singing, uniting contrasting sounds with effortless flow. Nicki also recently released “FORTY,” (listen here) showcasing Nicki’s unique style and unwavering confidence. These tracks solidify her position as one of the most innovative voices in Latin trap, weaving sharp rapped verses and soulful melodies over a groovy bass to create an anthem of strength and self-empowerment.

On the bold “WE LOVE THAT SHIT” ft. KHEA (watch the new video here), Nicki exudes confidence and celebrates the hustle. With its infectious chorus and a mix of braggadocious verses, the track reflects her rise to success, luxury, and independence, all while staying grounded in her roots. All in all, it showcases her unapologetic attitude and determination to keep leveling up.
