The music bug traveled up Nicki Minaj’s family tree, or perhaps the public just didn’t know about the rap superstar’s mother, Carol Maraj, also had industry aspirations. The general public doesn’t hear much from Maraj, but that will change soon, as she has a gospel single on the way called “God’s Been Good.”

Today, listeners get a sneak preview of the song via a 30 second snippet. First and foremost, prepare your ears for a pop-influenced production that’s far from the soulful sounds of Sunday morning. Maraj used autotune to assist her vocals.

It’s ironic that gospel is Maraj’s music of choice, since her daughter’s songs are typically, um, racier in every facet. We’ll reserve any slander, but be sure to voice your opinions in the comments section. Stream the “God’s Been Good” snippet below.
