Riff Raff has just leaked his new mini EP entitled Trench Coat Towers, which is set to officially drop next week on iTunes. His new poetry book, NEON ViBES, is also due out next week. After teasing new music all over his social media accounts all week, the rapper finally shared the four-track EP (it's actually eight tracks if you count the instrumental versions) via his Jody Highroller alter-ego's Spotify.

The Texas-born rapper also released a music video for the new mini-album's first song, "Brick Off the Balcony." It features the typically neon-clad artist decked-out in all black, but don't worry: the rapper goes no less hard in the new track than in previous releases. Check it out below.
As Pitchfork reports, Riff Raff's new poetry collection will feature a holographic cover. If the artist's bedazzled lyrics along the lines of "Diamonds twerkin' on my wrist like Miley Cyrus" for which he's now known are any indication of what to expect from the forthcoming book, fans are in store for a truly vibrant, sparkly reading experience. And if the poetry winds up not on par with his rap game, at least the book itself will look cool on the coffee table, which is such a typical Jody Highroller move. NEON ViBES will be available for pre-sale on Friday, November 13th.
As Vulture reports, in Riff Raff's book announcement he also promised fans that his next full album, Peach Panther, which is due out sometime this year via Mad Decent, "iS BEiNG PURRRRRRTRFECTED [sic]."
By now, the rapper has made a name (or, many names) for himself in nearly every way imaginable in 2015. He's got controversy down, even if only thanks to the fact that he's a white rapper with cornrows. He's had Vine stardom on lock for years and is worth checking out for a laugh on all of his other social media platforms. He was the inspiration behind Springbreakers character Alien, and his fights with James Franco have garnered a ton of attention. He's given country music a try, and now he's adding "poet" to his resume. With so much new music coming out in the coming weeks and months, who knows what weirdness Riff Raff will roll out next?
