Nicki Minaj's single, "Your Love", sits atop the Rap Songs chart for the second straight week. When the song did hit no. 1, the rapper became the first female artist, without a guest appearance, to reach the top since Missy Elliott did it in 2002 with "Work It."

Despite the performance of the single, and her countless guest appearances on other artists' hits, Nicki has yet to drop her own album ... but it's coming!

The Young Money First Lady finally announced an official release date this week of ... November 23rd.

"Yes. It's time. November 23rd," Nicki tweeted (@NickiMinaj).

Next thing up for the rapper will be the release of a music video for "Your Love," which was reportedly shot in Los Angeles over the Fourth of July weekend.

Another album fans are anticipating is Young Jeezy's fourth major release, Thug Motivation 103. It too has just received an official date.

According to Rap-Up.com, the Atlanta is scheduled to drop TM103 on August 31 after numerous delays.

So far, Jeezy has dropped two singles from the album -- "All White Everything" and "Lose My Mind," which also has a remix featuring Drake.
