Saweetie Summer is in full effect with her new EP Hella Pressure out Friday (Aug. 1) via Warner Records.
The five-track project includes the J White Did It-produced single “Boffum” and four new tracks: “Pressure,” “Twinz,” “I Need Some Inspo” and “Superstars” with the K-pop girl group TWICE.
“They say pressure makes diamonds. Baby, I was born one. The name is Diamonté for a reason,” she said in a press release. “The pressure never crushed me. It crowned me.”
The rapper kicked off her debut headlining Australian tour on Wednesday (July 30) in Perth, which continues with shows in Brisbane tonight and Melbourne tomorrow night before wrapping in Sydney on Monday, Aug. 4.
Hella Pressure serves as an appetizer to the Grammy-nominated Bay Area MC’s long-awaited, much-delayed debut album Pretty Bitch Music, which she told Billboard in February is “coming this year. I feel like it will really encompass who I’ve grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell.” She explained the delay in her Allure cover story last year. “To me, music is sacred. It’s coming from your spirit. You can’t just go finish an album in a week. That’s why it’s taking me so long,” the Icy Girl said at the time.
