Sucka Free is the second mixtape made by Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj. The mixtape was released on April 12, 2008 with Young Money Entertainment and Dirty Money Records. In the making, Minaj worked with many artists such as Lil Wayne, Lil' Kim, Gucci Mane, Jadakiss, and Ransom. Lil Wayne appeared on 8 of 23 tracks.

The mixtape helped to get Minaj noticed and create an underground fan base. Critics gave the tape very positive reviews, citing that "Autobiography" was the best track and credited Minaj's writing skills.

Background Edit

Just after Minaj’s previous mixtape, Playtime Is Over, which was released in 2007 Minaj released "Sucka Free" with label mate Lil Wayne after he discovered her on the Queens-made dvd series called the The Come Up. Lil Wayne mentored Nicki in the making of the tape, helping her while she continues her rap career.

CoverEdit

The cover of this tape shows Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne at a podium in front of a red curtain being interviewed by XXL Magizine and MTV. Nicki is wearing a gold-colored necklace and gold-colored earings wearing a halfway buttoned down red shirt and wearing striped pants similar to the one she is wearing in on cover of the Playtime Is Over mixtape. Lil Wayne is wearing a red garment with a silver watch and silver chains with a black hat with the Young Money logo on it.

Critics noticed that Nicki used the same posing style in promo photographs for the mixtape as her fellow rival female-rapper, Lil' Kim, from her promo shot for Kim’s album Hard Core. This was a small spark on the beginning of the Nicki Minaj and Lil' Kim beef, which started to take off in 2010.
