The ever-illustrious Princess Nokia, formerly Wavy Spice, has declared her prominence in the NYC music scene through a tenaciously pompous swagger, exuding allure not only through her persona, but through a casually manifested musical adeptness. Her latest effort “Dragons,” exemplifies her unique artistic dexterity and exuberance by transitioning from her wonted (yet diamond) rapping abilities, instead employing a refreshing patience and care through her singing. Terrifically produced by NYC’s OWWWLS, “Dragons” begins with a quick drum and bass break beat, swiftly expanding while remaining primed for Nokia’s vocals to gently lay. The tasty combination is only complimented by its’ video which combines anime images from Dragon Ball to Winx Club with lovable footage of Princess Nokia and her sweetheart Wiki (of the very ill New York rap trio Ratking). Directed by Milah Libin and Arvid Logan, the video ends in a steamy, 40 oz shower scene; a bold cherry-on-top encapsulating the simple beauty of love, in its’ entirety. Definitely something to vibe to.
