While fans wait for the Miami starlet to unveil her sixth untitled studio album later this year, the Slip-N-Slide flagship artist is feeding her heavily dedicated fanbase with a 12-track EP of all new original material. A few weeks back, Miss MIA dropped the Rick Ross collabo “Waist So Skinny,” providing a glimpse of what was to come on Diamonds. To give her Diamonds Are Forever mixture the official stamp of approval, Trina has partnered with the good folks here at Mixtape Daily for the official mixtape release . “The concept of the mixtape is just a new direction of music,” Trina told us on the phone from the Sunshine State. “It’s really fun and energetic, a different drive. I tried different types of music. I worked with a bunch of different artists, different producers, different sounds. I just wanted to do something that was fun and energetic. It’s the summer. It’s, like, the mini-CD to my new album. And I just wanted to have fun.” Joints to Check For
