LONDON -- Deep breaths, Nicki Minaj fans -- a new track has been dropped.

Two years after the release of The Pinkprint, the singer has shared some new music on Soundcloud; "The Pinkprint Freestyle" includes a shout-out to Lil Wayne ("For signing a little chick from Queens"), a reference to the gorilla Harambe ("I'm dragging these hoes like Harambe did the kid") that's getting a lot of attention online, and a section toward the end based around M.I.A's song "Paper Planes" ("M.I.A., M.I.A., I make bitches go M.I.A.").

You can listen to the track in full on Soundcloud.

Minaj was busy on Twitter throughout Sunday evening.

After sharing the Soundcloud link and retweeting fan reactions, the singer also responded to a couple of questions about her new song.

From the sounds of it, the reggae section in the middle -- which Minaj says was improvised -- is her favourite bit.

At the time of writing, the song has been up on Soundcloud for 14 hours and has already been played over 500,000 times.
