Coco Solid releases a new disco-rap anthem TURTLE PIZZA CADILLACS on the eve of her international tour this March & April. The track was co-written, played and produced by Copenhagen based producer ROBIN HANNIBAL (from Owusu & Hannibal fame) after they meet at the Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona last year.
A 12” for the track will be released on YAM WHO’s new London label IZM RECORDS in April. It includes another track
WEIGHT WATCHERS (released under their joint name; PARALLEL DANCE ENSEMBLE).
TURTLE PIZZA CADILLACS also comes with an epic stop-motion video, which has been six months in the making. Coco’s
director of choice Aleks Sakowski (who has now made three videos for the femcee) has created a sci-fi jungle laser disco
not to be missed.
Coco will be rapping and rolling this March & April in Mexico, New York, Berlin, Cologne, Portugal and Tokyo returning to New Zealand in May. Hot on the heels of the
NYC electro-rapper PRINCESS SUPERSTAR covering her hook from DENIM & LEATHER, Coco will also be working on mix-tape SCARED TO DEF with Lisbon rapper MC VIOLET while she is away.
The worldwide tour continues what has been a great year for the Auckland musician. COCO SOLID received the APRA
Professional Development Award for song-writing and the tour was supported by the NZ Music Commission’s Outward Sound
grant.
Coco Solid is the New Zealand rapper seducing and shaking live crowds worldwide with her psychedelic raps, cut-throat
style and lo-fi beats. Her sound is a bossy 80’s electro/rap, mixing a tough voice with her signature wit.
