If any of you have a chance to get to
the exhibit on sissy bounce, the variation of the New Orleans hip-hop genre created by queer and trans performers, at the
Abrons Art Center on Henry Street, will you let me know if it's good? For those of you not in New York, like me,
this fantastic mixtape of a bunch of prominent sissy bounce MCs' work is a great place to start. I like the mix of things in here: semi-rough production, some ethereal-sounding electronic stuff, gender-bending Beyonce samples. And it's abundantly clear from the predominant rhythms why it's called bounce.
