“I'm that Blackorican bruja/ Straight out from the Yoruba/ And my people come from Africa-diaspora Cuba.”
The Bronx-based rapper, Princess Nokia, drops her family history in her newly-released single “Brujas” from her 1992 mixtape. Princess Nokia (Destiny Frasqueri) delivers a fresh, female-positive anthem that not only celebrates her African heritage but her spiritual roots as a self-proclaimed “bruja”. The rhythmic beats accompanied by Nokia's vocals flow effortlessly as she warns any negative bystander, “Don't you fuck with my energy!”
