Playtime is over and on her latest single, "Roman Reloaded," Nicki Minaj returned to the rapid-fire rhyming that first got her noticed on hip-hop's mixtape circuit.

The Rico Beats-produced banger features pounding drums, well-timed gunshot effects and plenty of tough talk from Nicki and her Young Money boss Lil Wayne. It's a far cry from last year's "Super Bass" and the Harajuku Barbie's RedOne-produced pop-affair "Starships."

"That's just a preview of what's to come on the album. I know what people need right now," Nicki told MTV News in her dressing room at the Amway Center after her NBA All-Star Game performance on Sunday.

Anticipation is building for Nick's sophomore LP, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, and with a little more than a month left before it is released, many are still unsure which direction the Young Money star will take. Will the album sound more like the title track or "Starships"? Of course, there is always a middle ground. "April 3 is gonna be a doozy. It's gonna be crazy," Nicki said of her album release date. "It's gonna be important for just hip-hop culture and pop culture. It's gonna be very big."

On Thursday (March 1), Nicki unveiled her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album cover via Twitter. The colorful album art shows the reigning rap queen with blond hair and a mix of pink, purple and green paint covering her face.
