Nicki Minaj began her career in a band called "hoodstars" but found little success, so she began posting songs on Myspace to attract record labels. She was eventually signed after appearing in music videos for Yo Gotti and Jay-Z. Her solo verse on "Bed Rock" helped launch her successful solo career across multiple albums, each featuring Nicki Minaj prominently on the covers alone or with close-ups of her face and image.
