One of the most anticipated albums of the season, the landing place for "Anaconda," the trouble-starting home of "Lookin' A--," a.k.a. Nicki Minaj's return to au naturel, The Pinkprint has an official release date, so says the Barb herself.

"Announcement today," Nicki teased via Twitter Tuesday, the morning before her Fashion Rocks performance on CBS. She linked her call to fellow Barbz to a fierce Instagram pic and waited hours before relieving the curiosity.

"11.24 The Pinkprint," she finally posted, at nearly 10 p.m.

The Pinkprint is Nicki's third studio album.

In addition to "Lookin' A--" and "Anaconda," the latter of which charted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, the collection's spawned an official lead single, "Pills N Potions," featuring Nicki's latest leading man, Game, in the video.
