Hip Hop's New Queen
Mykki Blanco rejects being called a "gay rapper." His EP,
Mykki Blanco & The Mutant Angels, is based on the idea of androgyny. Quattlebaum uses poetry and her alter ego to perform ideas of alternative sexuality. After running away from home as a teenager, Quattlebaum would go to a gay bar in the Lower East Side called The Cock, where he met Alexander McQueen and Ryan McGinley.
In an interview with
Interview Magazine, Quattlebaum attempted to define his sexuality:
I considered myself gay for so long, it really wasn't until I started dressing as the opposite sex pretty regularly that I began to see my gender identity shift. To be flat-out honest, it wasn't until I started sleeping with men as the opposite sex that things started to really change-when I found out men that I found attractive found me attractive as a woman!
