Katastrophe

The swaggering trans rapper and producer Rocco Katastrophe turned his poetry slam success into a rap career marked by rapid-fire rhymes about the “alienating trip” of transformation. Katastrophe, who recently moved from the Bay Area to Brooklyn, is touring this year to support his new album, Second Hand Emotion.
