Nicki Minaj is about to give newcomer Parker Ighile a major boost.

In 2013, the U.K. producer-songwriter became the first signee to Nicki’s new label, Pink Friday Records. Now, Nicki contributes a verse to Parker’s “Remember Me,” which surfaced online June 10. It’s a break-up ballad made epic with its strings, cavernous drums and global sound.

“How you leave me for bitch under me? When the shit hit the fan, don’t run to me,” Nicki raps at the start. “Your daddy wasn’t a man, so to some degree / I guess it runs in your genes / Dungarees.”

According to Bustle, “Remember Me” is actually already three years old. But Nicki also teased the song a few months ago, suggesting that Parker is almost ready to make his solo debut.

As a producer, Parker has worked with Nicki, Ariana Grande and Rihanna. His most recent credit is Grace‘s “You Don’t Own Me,” which features rapper G-Eazy and topped the Australian charts before it became a hit in Parker’s native U.K.

“I’m still an active producer and I’ve been focusing on building a foundation for my sound by working with other artists,” he told Billboard in 2014. “I’m an extremely patient person and I believe that when the listeners hear the body of work they will understand why I’ve taken the time to perfect it.”
