First thing I’d like to mention: true to form, America’s president is continuing the country’s rich legacy of providing terrible disaster relief, not to mention other shit that’s playing no small role in his reluctance to, you know, help American citizens. That said, luckily we have people like Destiny Frasqueri a.k.a. Princess Nokia, who has set up a Puerto Rico disaster relief fund. Donate here. And if you have the capital, don’t hesitate to check out other ways you can help.
Next thing, Princess Nokia has dropped a double video for “Bart Simpson” and “Green Line,” two tracks off last year’s wonderful 1992. Ever since I found this gem a couple years back, Princess Nokia has never disappointed, and this is no different. Watch the video below.
Finally, as we recently reported, Princess Nokia is going on tour (see dates below) and has released a deluxe edition of 1992 via Rough Trade Records. It includes eight new remastered tracks and is out November 10 on CD/vinyl. In the meantime, stream/purchase the digital version here.
