Angel-Ho returns to Hyperdub with new EP, Alla Prima

Angel-Ho will release her latest EP, Alla Prima, on Hyperdub this month.

The South African artist’s five-tracker is her second release on Kode9’s label after the 2019 album, Death Becomes Her, and it comes just months after her self-released LP Woman. Translating as “on first attempt,” the label explains that Alla Prima incorporates one-take, freestyle vocals over productions by Bon, the London duo whose list of collaborations also includes Gaika and Mykki Blanco.

The EP, out September 25th, brings an experimental edge to hip-hop, a style Angel-Ho calls “hip-hop haute couture,” and deals with themes like sex positivity, trans-mythology and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Listen to “Juice.”
