Nicki Minaj is our choice for TRCOA Artist Pick of The Month because if her persistence and her creativity. She has won multiple awards and nominations and has even had albums and singles sometimes simultaneously on the Billboard Charts at the same time. We love to see how growth and how changed the male-dominated hip-hop industry and being the voice for female emcees. She continuously had success since she hit the mixtape scene back in 2007 and has become one of the biggest female artists of this generation.
