LISTEN TO PRINCESS NOKIA'S "BART SIMPSON"

December 22, 2016

Destiny Frasqueri AKA Princess Nokia represents the unbreakable past of born and bred New Yorkers. Her work is as unapologetic and multidimensional as possible, following in the tradition of hip-hop’s inventors and innovators that use their voices to the classist, racist, and patriarchal world.

Having originally broke out on the underground rap scene back in 2010, she's since released a 9-track debut LP, 1992, which is arguably one of the most straightforward hip-hop and rap records we've heard in a while. 1992 shows Nokia embracing her individuality and feminism, while spitting her interesting and authentic narrative. The Album brings snippets of Nokia’s surroundings into full view, and sounds are plucked from a vintage New York. One we can't get enough of is her track “Bart Simpson," which Princess Nokia is one of her favorites as well. In a conversation with Idol magazine, Princess Nokia had this to say about "Bart Simpson":

"It was the last song I recorded, and I came into it so strong, the shit is just so hardcore; its dark, kind of geeky and really nerdy. It’s pro New York, and just so pro so many things. I like that I got to talk a lot about things, like comic books and skipping school and being an underachiever – I got to speak on all of those truths about myself that are usually the favorite things about myself. I thought it was a really interesting narrative of a very androgynous girl, you know, who still looks like a kid, feels like a kid – is like a bad little mischievous kid."

In 1997, Spiritualized's album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space was named album of the year  by NME magazine over much more glorified opus albums like Radiohead's OK Computer and The Verve's Urban Hymns. The newest release from Jason Pierce & Co., And Nothing Hurt, is a similarly ambitious blend of shoegazer rock and indie R&B that is sure to keep his legion of fans happy, but let's hope that with lyrics like "Gonna burn brightly for a while/and then you're gone," it's not the last.
On their 6th album, veteran indie rock brooders Interpol team up with producer Dave Fridmann for their latest offering, Marauder. As always their songs are anchored by the moody tenor of dapper lead singer and sometime surfer Paul Banks. The only thing missing from previous releases are the strong bass lines of long time collaborator Carlos Dengler.  Standout tracks are "The Rover" and "Stay in Touch."
