Argentine singer, songwriter, and rapper Nicki Nicole has returned to her trap beginnings with her fourth studio album, NAIKI, now available on all streaming platforms. This deeply personal project takes listeners on a journey through her roots, blending urban trap sounds with her signature lyrical prowess.
Named after her personal nickname, NAIKI showcases the unfiltered, fearless version of Nicki, both as an artist and as a person. “Naiki is the person I am in my day-to-day life, without fears, without attachments,” Nicki shared. “This album captures the Naiki who takes risks, who’s making the genres she likes, who’s releasing what she’s wanted to release for a long time.”
The nine-track album was crafted between Buenos Aires and Miami alongside her longtime producer, Tatool. It features collaborations with prominent Argentine artists DUKI (MASCARA) and KHEA (WE LOVE THAT SHIT), offering a blend of raw rap verses, sultry melodies, and infectious choruses that highlight Nicki’s versatility.
Leading the album is the fiery single “SHEITE,” whose video reflects on Nicki’s 2019 breakthrough, “Wapo Traketero.” With its nostalgic visuals and sharp lyricism, the track honors her early influences while affirming her evolution. Other standouts include the bold and braggadocious “WE LOVE THAT SHIT” and the groovy anthem “FORTY,” which radiate confidence and celebrate her journey to success.
NAIKI arrives after a monumental year for the 24-year-old Rosario native. She sold out arena shows in Buenos Aires, headlined her first U.S. tour, and collaborated with global stars like Becky G, Christina Aguilera, and Bizarrap. With eight Latin GRAMMY® nominations to her name and a dedicated fan base spanning millions across platforms, Nicki Nicole remains a driving force in the Latin music scene.
Through NAIKI, Nicki returns to the fiery spark that launched her career, reclaiming her roots while continuing to push boundaries. Listen to the album here and watch the videos for “SHEITE” and “WE LOVE THAT SHIT” on YouTube below.
