Free Music Friday: Mykki Blanco

    Listener discretion is advised!

     Mykki Blanco, born in Orange County, California in 1986, is a rapper, poet, and performance artist. Blanco identifies as trans/multigendered and has gone by male pronouns at some points in life and female pronouns at others. For the purpose of this article (for clarity and consistency) I will use female pronouns because Mykki Blanco is a feminine persona.



     June 17, 2011 Blanco published a poetry book via an OHWOW imprint; it was titled "From the Silence of Duchamp to the Noise of Boys". May 9, 2012 Blanco made her music debut with an EP based off the poetry book "Mykki Blano and the Mutant Angels". The EP included songs 'Head is a Stone' and 'Join My Militia'.



     November 9, 2012 Blanco released her first mixtape "Cosmic Angel: The Illuminati Prince/ss". It featured singles  'Wavvy', Haze.Boogie.Life', and 'Kinpinning (Ice Cold)'. May 21, 2013 saw the release of another EP "Betty Rubble: The Initiation", which featured the songs 'Feeling Special' and 'The Initiation'. In May the following year Blanco released "Spring/Summer 2014" EP.



     October 28, 2014 Blanco's second mixtape "Gay Dog Food" was released; it boasted features from Cakes Da Killa, Cities Aviv, James K, No Bra, and Kathleen Hanna.

     June of 2015 Blanco made public her HIV+ status. She didn't expect to receive as much support following her announcement as she got - she even thought that it would hinder her music career. Thankfully she was wrong and later that year was signed by !K9, an independent label. On September 16, 2016 Blanco dropped her debut album "Mykki", which included the songs 'High School Never Ends', 'The Plug Won't', and 'Loner'.
