Katey Red - “Where Da Melph At” Directed by David S White. (thanks Sonali, Rusty, and Jonno for sharing!)

“The Melph” refers to the Melpomene Housing Projects in Central City New Orleans. Only in New Orleans would a public housing project be named after the Greek muse of both singing and tragedy.

The strange thing is that Katey Red is not a she at all. Born Kenyon Carter, Katey Red is one of the first openly homosexual rap and bounce-music artists to earn respect in this notoriously homophobic world. Add to that Katey Red’s chronic stutter, and you have a most unlikely regional star, even in a city with a rich culture of cross-dressing.”
