Ever heard of two singers by the name of Nico and Vinz? If you haven't, here's why you should get to know them:

Their path to fame started in 2010 at the Emergenza Festival. Shortly after, they were signed by Warner Bros. Records and gained worldwide recognition. From there, the rest was history.

In 2013, they released their new single, “Am I Wrong.” The video for the song was filmed in Botswana, Africa, and it stands out with one thing that most artists don’t have: positivity. The video doesn’t showcase sexy, half-naked women, or larger-than-life houses, but instead focuses on the positive side of countries in Africa. Running with happy children and dancing with locals, they show that the continent that receives so much negative attention actually does have a hugely positive side to it. Because of their efforts in Africa, Nico and Vinz were selected to perform at the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.

Take a listen and watch their music video for “Am I Wrong” below, and see what all the talk is about:

Nicki Minaj Debuts First Single Off Upcoming "Pink Print" LP

Attention Barbz! Nicki Minaj released her first new single in over a year, "Pills N Potions", her first single off of her upcoming album "The Pink Print"!

The Young Money-star raps "Pills N Potions/We're overdosing/I'm angry but I still love you". Could this about a previous relationship? Or just something from her past? Regardless, it's refreshing to hear a new rap/hip-hop track with such a deep meaning. Earlier this year, Nicki said in an interview that she will not longer be doing "Super Bass" types of songs (radio geared), and will be focusing on the rap she became famous for, which explains the slower vibe of this one.

Listen to Nicki's new song "Pills N Potions" below:
