We've been fans of Mykki Blanco's for a while now and are used to seeing the rapper in all sorts of get-ups: werking a bikini, sporting an octopus on her head, wearing a tan dress while sitting in the American Idol judge's chair (okay, that one was only in our dreams) and, occasionally, even stepping out as Michael Quattlebaum Jr. As was the case in "Head Is a Stone," the shape-shifting artist goes back-and-forth between his make-up free look and glammed-out drag alter ego in this latest video for the Brenmar-produced track, "Wavvy." Directed by Italian filmmaker Francesco Carrozzini, the clip shows Quattlebaum Jr. buying some drugs -- "wavvy" -- and later getting chased by a cop through Chinatown as a result. Crisis -- and cops -- averted, we next see a slinky Mykki at a drug-and-sex shindig that rivals the party in Eyes Wide Shut. Watch the whole thing above and, for anyone in NYC, head over to his performance tonight at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center (540 W. 21st). It starts at 7pm.
