The mixtape name is supposed to mean a girl cried blood, or a girl cried fury. “It’s taken from my favorite song, ‘ The Robot with Human Hair.’ I have a lot of references from this Dance Gavin Dance album, and the first line in the song is ‘Your eyes are bleeding.’ I always loved that image, and it’s a big motif in my work. “Blood, like a girl cried blood,” she explained. So perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she describes A Girl Cried Red as an “emo mixtape,” and in a recent interview with Dazed, she expanded upon the inspiration behind the title. Rappers like Lil Uzi Vert have been bringing emo into the hip-hop sphere recently, and Princess Nokia is a big emo fan - an episode of her new Beats 1 radio show, Voices In My Head, was dedicated exclusively to emo and pop-punk. Today, she’s following that up with another mixtape, A Girl Cried Red. In 2016, she broke out in a big way with her 1992 mixtape, and her star continued to rise last year with 1992 Deluxe, an expanded re-release that also served as her official debut album. New York rapper own Destiny Frasqueri, better known as Princess Nokia, has been making waves in the local scene for a few years now.
