After Nicki Minaj appeared at the Teen Choice Awards there’s has been a lot of talk about her very young fan base who love her crazy makeup and wigs. Her new song featuring rapper 2 Chains, “Beez in the Trap,” is for the older set with Minaj in a bikini and dropping the F-bomb at least 20 times.

The LA based Zig Zags debut single for Mexican Summer is some kind of heavy metal bedroom heaven, a la 1974. With a clip filled with old school found footage from god knows where, “Scavenger” blasts freeloaders and jerk stores who show up to parties empty handed.
