New York rapper Princess Nokia released her debut album ‘1992 Deluxe’ on Sept. 8, 2017. The expanded version of her critically acclaimed 2016 mixtape ‘1992’ fueled Nokia’s status as a rising artist, allowing her to tour across the world in support of the release. Ahead of her performance at the second annual Genius IQ/BBQ, Nokia sat down with Genius’ Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman on the latest episode of ‘For The Record’ to commemorate the one-year anniversary of ‘1992 Deluxe.’ During the conversation, Nokia discussed releasing the project independently, shared the influence of New York City on her sound, and explained why her music defies categorization.
