Fergie drops off a music video for “You Already Know,” a collaboration with rapper Nicki Minaj, taken from her upcoming sequel project, ‘Double Dutchess.’
In the black and white visual, the Black Eyed Peas leading lady tributes Big Daddy Kane, reciting lyrics from classics like “Set It Off” and “Warm It Up” over an instrumental that pulls inspiration from Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock’s “It Takes Two.”
“You Already Know” follows previously released cuts “Life Goes On,” “L.A.LOVE (la la),” featuring YG, and “Hungry,” featuring Rick Ross.
‘Double Dutchess’ is due out on September 22, and Ferg recently spoke out about the delay.
“I definitely have felt so much pressure on a timeline and thought I could get it done so much faster than I could,” she states. “You keep moving and keep moving and sometimes it feels like you can’t get things done fast enough. I think any mom can relate with that. I’m telling people, ‘The album’s coming,’ but I feel like the boy who cried wolf. My gosh. It’s so embarrassing. I’m so ready to release it to the world and I’m sorry it took so damn long. I just didn’t want to release a half done album and regret it the rest of my life.”
