Princess Nokia drops off her new mixtape "Everything Sucks," featuring ten new songs from the New York rapper.
With producing coming from Tony Seltzer, Chris Lare, Powers Pleasant, Invisible Will, and more, Everything Sucks is a well-rounded and sonically balanced effort. Tracks like "Gross" throw listeners off-kilter with a maddening synth backdrop, the perfect springboard for Nokia's frantic punchline delivery. "Fee Fi Foe" is the perfect counterpart, feeling decidedly "mainstream" by contrast and allowing Nokia to flex a well-practiced flow.
It wouldn't be a modern-day rap album without at least one reference to Balenciaga, though Nokia seems more inclined to flex her effortless style than the price-tag of her wardrobe. She even takes a moment to get personal, voicing some of her doubts and sticking points on the conceptual closer "Just A Kid." While Everything Sucks might not be the conversion point for casual or curious fans, it's all but guaranteed to thrill her loyal supporters.
