NYC based rapper Bry'Nt has been photographed for famous photograper Adam Bouska's NoH8 collection. Bry'Nt encourages others to join.

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska (http://www.bouska.net) and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with "NOH8" painted on one cheek in protest.

A foreign exchange college student interviews Prince Cat-Eyez about his upcoming projects and recent beefs as well:



Minneapolis based trans hip hopper Barton Stink was recently featured in the Minneaplis City Pages in their video recap of a Benefit for Bash Back. You can read and see it here.  Bash Back! is a network of radical, anarchist and anti-authoritarian queer projects within the United States, formed in Chicago in 2007 to facilitate a convergence of radical trans and queer activists from around the country. Fascinating.

Gay Rapper Nano Reyes went on camera to announce his transition as a female. He is changing his name legally and already being treated for hormone therapy. He will keep everyone updated on the progress. In the video below, he reveals he will go from Nano Reyes to Milan the Empress.  Reyes is the 2nd (that we know of) LGBT rapper who started out as one gender and merged into another. Pam Jones was originally "J.R. The First Fag of Hip Hop" in 2006. We wish Nano well with his transition.
