Drag Trap is the debut studio album by Americandrag performerYvie Oddly,[1] released through Voss Music on October 23, 2020. FellowRuPaul's Drag Race contestantVanessa Vanjie Mateo is featured on "Hype".
Yvie Oddly started working on the album following her appearance on theeleventh season ofRuPaul's Drag Race. She has said, "My inspiration forDrag Trap comes from all sorts of places. When Season 11 aired and my life changed drastically I began writing raps to help me navigate my emotions. So the songs range from the pressures of fame, to my health, sex, and being a queer Black American ... and just everything I needed to get off my chest."[2]
The title track was released as a single alongside amusic video in August 2020.[3][4] The music video for "Hype" featuresVanessa Vanjie Mateo and camero appearances byBrooke Lynn Hytes,Silky Nutmeg Ganache, andSoju.[5] Yvie Oddly produced the music video for "Sick Bitch" withWillow Pill.[6]
Cleo Mirza included Yvie Oddly inWestword's 2021 list of "Ten of the Best Denver Rappers". Mirza said about the album and artist, "It's funny, poignant, thoughtful and powerful, and she delivers some of the most dance-worthy beats of 2020. OnDrag Trap, Oddly tackles real issues — like living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome — with humor and wit, but also proves she can get serious, as in the second half of the song "Karen," where she solemnly pays tribute to victims of police brutality. As one of the many artists striving to break boundaries between queerness and hip-hop, this hometown hero does Denver's LGBTQ+ community proud."[7]
