14. I CAN DO THAT TOO (BITCH)
14. I CAN DO THAT TOO (BITCH) We came back and while we were gone someone packaged what we built and sold it without us in the room. Track fourteen is country pop because if you are going to take from everybody at least admit you took from us too. And then you come back and the new kids who built...
-
9. DON'T KILL MY SISTER
9. DON'T KILL MY SISTER The morning is here and real life means real danger for real people. Track nine is direct because the subject requires it and it lives in hip hop soul R&B because that genre has always been the one that said the things everyone else was afraid to say. Trans women in this...
-
16. GRANT MONEY, GRANT PROBLEMS
16. GRANT MONEY, GRANT PROBLEMS Track sixteen is the grant. A voice and an acoustic guitar and nothing else, because sometimes the most political thing you can do is strip everything away and make people sit with the words. Track fifteen was what you paid to get here. Track sixteen is what…
more -
17. STILL HERE
17. STILL HERE After all of it, the ball that got cut short, the missing clips, the house meeting, the legends coasting, the copies, the cameras, the clipboards, the grants, the grief, track seventeen is the last word. In jungle and drum and bass because that genre has always been about survival…
more -
11. COME FROM BEHIND
11. COME FROM BEHIND The house meeting surfaced the real issue and track eleven takes it outside. This is full WWF level confrontation, wet hair, sweating on the mic, one icon calling out another icon directly while the house kids stand back and let it blow over because this is not their fight…
more -
10. HOUSE MEETING
10. HOUSE MEETING You spent the day doing what you have to do in the real world, trans activism, community work, survival, whatever it takes to make your life operate. Now you come home to the house and the house has its own meeting to run. Track ten is built in contemporary gospel because house...
-
8. AFTER WE BALL
8. AFTER WE BALL The ball is over, the clips are posted, the critiques are in, and now it is two, three, four in the morning and the night took a turn in the best way. Track eight is that morning after energy, the good kind, when the sun is coming up and real life is about to start again. It…
more -
6. BQ WORK FOR IT
6. BQ WORK FOR IT Track six lives in trap soul R&B because that sound understands what it means to be precise and emotional at the same time, which is exactly what butch queen performance has always been. The lyrics are the same as track seven because the standard is the same. What changes is who...
-
5. FIERCE
5. FIERCE You are watching your clip and questioning everything. Did you win. Should you have lost. The critiques come, the praise comes, the reposts come, something goes viral. Track five does not need to explain what fierce means because the album has already been fierce from the first note. It...
-
4. THE HOUSES
4. THE HOUSES Everyone is still in the parking lot, somebody's car is blasting, people are taking pictures, exchanging information, popping ass on bumpers, and what you notice is that all the divisions from inside are gone. Every house had a designated table in the venue. Out here everyone is...
-
2. BALL OVER
2. BALL OVER Track two is placed here on purpose. It starts in that feeling of a perfect ball night when everything is right, the music is right, the performances are right, the energy is right, and you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Then somebody could not hold it together and now...
-
15. SEMINAL FIELDNOTES
15. SEMINAL FIELDNOTES The function is winding down and the camera finds the displaced people. The same crew that filmed the icon's comeback in track fourteen is still here with their equipment and their clipboards and their release forms. Track fifteen is about what you had to give up to access...
-
12. DO IT
12. DO IT After all of that, the activism, the meeting, the callout, track twelve is the one second of freedom. But it is also the harm reduction track because when life gets heavy sometimes we make bigger problems trying to forget the ones we already have. The floor is where you bring it. Not…
more -
13. NARCAN
13. NARCAN Track thirteen follows twelve because that is exactly how it happens. The same indulgence that felt like freedom can take you under if it goes too far. This track lives in a dark funky space where desire and danger share the same breath because that is exactly what addiction feels like...
-
7. FF WORK FOR IT
7. FF WORK FOR IT Same floor, same standard, same lyrics, different track, because the women's story deserves its own space and not a footnote. Track seven is slow burn R&B because that genre understands how to be completely in control of every single moment without rushing anything. The words…
more -
3. WHERE’S MY CLIP?
3. WHERE'S MY CLIP The ball just ended and you are still inside gathering your people, grabbing your things, saying your goodbyes, and your phone is already out before you hit the door. Every ball around the world, some running on the same night, and the moment it ends every single person is...
-
1. THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LIVE STREAMED
1. THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LIVE STREAMED Track one starts here because this is where the story actually begins, not with a vogue beat, but with the truth about where the culture already is. Ballroom has been in Tokyo, Seoul, Lagos, Paris, and Berlin for years before any algorithm noticed. The LSS…

Hummin'
HUMMIN' In 2005, Kevin JZ Prodigy and VJtheDJ changed the floor forever. The "Hummingbird" track emerged from one of ballroom's most important creative partnerships. A trilogy that rewrote the rules of production and performance. The Trilogy: I Feel Like A Bitch (2002)...
