On the track “Receipts” she raps with pride about her diligence, her prolificness: No. In 2016, she released 1992, a nine-track mixtape, which was later bolstered with eight additional tracks and re-released as an official album on Rough Trade Records. By the time she took on the moniker Princess Nokia she was seasoned, and ready to be heard by the world. Before her best-known album, 1992 Deluxe, she released the song Destiny under the pseudonym Wavy Spice, and went on to release more singles via YouTube and SoundCloud, bootstrapping her career and organically growing her fan base. Soon she started to tour, and was featured on tracks with NYC rap group Ratking. She’s come a long way, but to be honest the music has always been inside of her. “There’s something to be said about the imprint and the narrative of brown women that create friendships within these art worlds and music scenes and cities and networks of people and youth and subculture.” This was her doing and I could not be more adrenalized to be there with her for it. This post Princess Nokia Unleashes Raw Emotions For Her Alt-Rock LP ‘A Girl Cried Red’ first appeared on Vibe."When I was a young girl I always wanted to be the underground, I always wanted to do music and I always wanted to be in the art world and all that cool stuff.” I have been observing her growth for years, watching that vision come to fruition, and here we are, sitting on set in a multimillion dollar mansion off 54th Street, filled with racks of designer clothes and shoes, a team of professionals getting her camera-ready, and a photographer ready to shoot the dreamlike scene with Destiny as the protagonist. Stream and/or cop Princess Nokia’s new album A Girl Cried Red below.
Once she wraps up her last on weekend two of Coachella, Nokia will make her way to Chicago, Brooklyn and Miami for Rolling Loud 2018 before flying out to Spain in May to carry out the international leg of her tour. With her emotional album finally out everywhere, Princess Nokia is ready to hit the road to bring her new songs to life for her fans across the world. “For The Night,” “Your Eyes Are Bleeding,” and “Morphine” successfully blur the lines between hip-hop and emo, while intense songs like “Little Angel” and “Look Up Kid” are coming-of-age stories that stem from her own life experiences as well as situations her fans may relate to. The 8-track album has zero features to distract fans from her emotional confessional over alternative rock beats. After proving that her temper and lyrics go harder than any man, the New York City native decided to tap into her deepest emotions and rap to a new tune for her new body of work called A Girl Cried Red. Princess Nokia is known for spitting raw bars on the mic, especially in songs like “Bart Simpson” and “Brujas” off her debut album 1992 Deluxe.
