Mykki Blanco
Cosmic Angel Video Diary
Harlem-based rapper Mykki Blanco shot us a really cute email today, asking us if we could post her new video/diary/performance piece, Cosmic Angel. The note also included a brief description of who she is and what she does. Girl, we know who you are! Basically one of the best gay rappers in the game, Mykki has been blazing across underground shows and art galleries for the past few years, bringing a queer thuggishness rarely seen anywhere near a hip-hop platform. If you’re looking for your rappers to be pairing stick-and-poke tattoos of Casper the Friendly Ghost with flawlessly layed wigs and anime-print street couture, look no further. Click the video for footage of Mykki talking about her creative ethos, rhyming on street corners and blowing people’s minds with her white hot verses on an uptown 2 train. Only in New York.
I have that jacket. Someone left it at my new years party in Brooklyn- anyone need it back?
