Wiz Khalifa is all about the Blacc Hollywood and we know Nicki Minaj loves her Pink Print. Now, the two hit rappers have come together to reveal their "True Colors" in a leaked track from Khalifa's new album. Last night (Aug. 11), the final song from Blacc Hollywood surfaced online, featuring both singing and rapping from the notorious musicians.
Despite sharing a title, Khalifa's "True Colors" has nothing in common with the 1986 Cyndi Lauper smash of the same name. Featuring a tender, slow moving beat and a thumping bass, "True Colors" features Khalifa singing about those who have stuck by him throughout the years.
"I can do bad by myself / These days you never can tell / 'Cept the people who been with me and they know who they are / Yeah they know my true colors and they know who they are," Khalifa sings in the chours.
Citing the green in his pocket and blunt in addition to his "white on white," Khalifa reveals his true colors: a loving dude who's loyal to those who are loyal to him, all while blending together sung vocals and raps.
Minaj follows the half singing, half rapping blend established by Khalifa. "They know I'm a mogul for real / I branded a color / Pink is the color / Can't wait to reveal a Pink Print cover," she raps off (hinting that some new album news could be on the way?).
The song gets a little cheesy at times, but it's hard to hate on something that's so clearly from the heart, and it's the closing track from Blacc Hollywood, so it's a fitting cap off to a full LP.
