“One of the most exciting, assured hip-hop releases of the year, on which Princess Nokia asserts her claim to the throne” – The Observer
“…hearing her claim her territory, while holding onto self-proclaimed weird girl signifiers feels like its own type of victory”
“Her music does not passively wait to be heard. It is a force that demands its presence be felt.”
“…everyone feels empowered by this tiny Afro-Nuyorican’s body-positive messages.”
Princess Nokia, aka Destiny Frasqueri, has released an 8 minute double-feature for two tracks from her new album 1992 Deluxe. “Bart Simpson / Green Line” was directed by Milah Libin, Destiny’s friend and frequent collaborator. The 8 minute video shows New York City through a young Destiny’s eyes–the rejection and struggles of high school, the innocent debauchery of a neighborhood party, the isolation and contemplation of solo travel on public transportation, and the depth of the friendships we forge in our youth.
