[Hip-Hop] French Montana – Freaks ft Nicki Minaj

This past year, French Montana found success in the game with his infectious single “Pop That”. Now fresh off his success, he is back with a new dance-hall infused track for the twerkers and dancers this spring and summer. The Rico Love produced banger samples Chaka Demus & Pliers “Murder She Wrote” and the classic Li’L Vicious and Doug E. Fresh “Freaks”.

Mixing the two classic tracks with a fast-tempo beat, fog horns, and a quick verse from the femcee Nicki Minaj, Montana tries to capture the island vibe and bring it to the dancefloor. Not really feeling this tune too much though because it comes across more generic and gimmicky than a single. This is definitely aimed towards club-playlist rotation and radio overplay. “Freaks” is the second single off his upcoming Bad Boy debut Excuse My French, dropping May 21.
