Lil Wayne & Skylar Grey Collaboration? Eminem Protege Talks Nicki Minaj New Song 'Bed Of Lies' Before 'Shady XV' Album Release
Skylar Grey is an aspiring songstress infamously known as rapper Eminem's young protege. The 28-year-old Don't Look Down singer actually appears on Nicki Minaj's new hit single, "Bed Of Lies" -
So... how did that all come about? In a recent interview with Billboard, Grey reveals:
"[Minaj] kind of poured her heart out on the verses. I personally think as a fan it's a nice contrast to her other singles on the record. You get to see another side of her."
She continued, "When I heard that she was taking the song I was surprised because it's not a typical kind of song for her. I was very excited when I heard what she did with it. She seemed to take it to a very personal place. And I love that, I love doing that with my songs and my collaborations, bringing out something that's a little more emotional and personal with the artist."
The "Love The Way You Lie" songwriter had even more praises for The PinkPrint superstar - check out the full interview here.
Grey's had the opportunity to work with some awesome musicians in the past - Diddy, Fort Minor, Dr. Dre, Cee Lo Green, TI, Lupe Fiasco, and several others. Which big-name emcee would she like to collaborate with next?
YMCMB mogul, Lil Wayne!
"It'd be kind of interesting to try something with [Lil'] Wayne," Grey explains. "I don't know if he would ever go there, but it'd be interesting to see what would happen if he did something that was personal cause I haven't really heard him do that."
Wonder if the "Rap God" would approve... or even Minaj?
Grey will appear on the highly-anticipated upcoming record, Shady XV. Her vocals will be featured on the track entitled "Twisted" with Em and Yelawolf. The album officially hits stores on November 24, 2014.
