Self-described punk performer, Mykki Blanco has released “Gay Dogfood,” a mixtape that includes a spoken word track featuring old guard punker Kathleen Hanna, with material from Cities Aviv, Cakes Da Killa, and others.
A bonus track called “Solange in the Elevator,” featuring Chicago’s Katie Got Bandz will be released on a vinyl version of the mixtape to be released at a later date.
“The song is just basically a bad girl anthem about letting people who think they can manipulate you know that they can’t. The title comes from one of the first lines in the song, ‘I’m Solange in the elevator; watch your ass. You’re phony, faking in my face; that shit don’t get a pass,'” Blanco explained in an interview with Paper magazine.
In the same interview, Blanco weighed in on the opinions of white, straight males, stating, “I always want to reinforce to my fans that regardless of any issue with homosexuality that people want to debate about, it’s about owning your sexuality and not allowing the heterosexual world to think they can critique it; no one is critiquing heterosexuality. Don’t allow society to put who you are into this petri dish like it’s a topic for discussion. That’s why I say, ‘a straight man’s respect doesn’t mean shit to me.'”
