The much-hyped MC’s first outing on Rough Trade sears with her trademark eclectic vitality. 1992 Deluxe revisits last year’s 1992 mixtape, with remasters of original tracks plus seven new songs, all of which find her rapping over tantalising production with nonchalant confidence – whether it be a love letter to her native New York, a boisterous ode to witchcraft, a cool takedown of people trying to touch her hair, or even a surreal rendition of the Fast Food Song to close the album. One of the most exciting, assured hip-hop releases of the year, on which Princess Nokia asserts her claim to the throne.
