The “212” rapper, who signed a deal with Universal Music in January, revealed on Twitter earlier this week that her “1991” EP will be out within the month, while “Broke with Expensive Taste” will likely receive a fall release. The “Fantastic” mixtape has not received a more specific release date than “summer.”
