Anaturale bumps queer-positive hip hop delivered on the gritty Anticon tip. Whether riffing on gender roles and the prefix "trans-" during "Transmission" or the meta-implications of a hook during "Never Even Meant," Anaturale charges hard. - The Independent, Durham, NC
dirty south queer trans-positive hip hop on the m-i-c
Anaturale is an up and coming gender queer mc and beat producer from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Representing the queer south, Anaturale delivers emotional and poetic lyrics that explore queer and transgender politics and humorously delve into experiences of growing up queer in the South. Anaturale began performing in 2000 as a spoken word artist and drag king performer and was one of the founding members of the Daddy Kings, a drag king troupe that hailed from Asheville, NC. Since then, A has shifted all focus into music and has an upcoming album soon to be released on Crunks Not Dead Records.
