Princess Nokia
Following the biggest year of her career so far, the New York rapper brings one of her searingly honest and energetic performances to Leith.
The American rapper Destiny Nicole Frasqueri is better known as her alter ego, Princess Nokia. A New Yorker raised in Spanish Harlem with Puerto Rican roots, Frasqueri first became obsessed with trip hop, Bjӧrk and rock music when she was 16 and began writing lyrics. Since her 2014 debut album, Metallic Butterfly, she has released three more albums including two in 2020; EverythingSucks andEverything is Beautiful.
Frasqueri also acts, models, directs her own music videos and is an activist and champion for intersectional feminism. Her live shows are famously brash, exhilarating and funny – where girls take up space and no one suffers fools.
