New York is a stronghold of queer rap – and its most glamorous figurehead answers to the name of Mykki Blanco, the alter ego of New Yorker Michael David Quattlebaum Jr. The riot grrrl attitude of this drag-transgender artist has properly stirred up and taken the New Yorker fashion and art world by storm with songs such as Wavvy or Head is a Stone. “You’d be hard pressed to find more energetic music than this at the moment,” writes Spex. This month, Mykki Blanco’s creative transgressions can be experienced live at Mousonturm.
