Chae Buttuh: 'Hoeism is Feminism is Futurism'

"Now I suck him down to sleep/ I pray to hoes his soul I keep/ If he should nut before I’m done/ I pray to hoes, there’s another one" opines Chae Buttuh in "Hoeism," the lead track from her debut project with FUTUREHOOD, HoFi: A Collection of Glam Trap & Hoe Hymns.

The Greensboro, North Carolina native is bringing sexy back to hip-hop and in doing so bringing the realest parts of herself to light. The subversive nature of her work is powerful in how she empowers femme identity and sexuality, distancing it from the shame reinforced by society. "Hoeism is Feminism is Futurism," Buttah says. "HoFi is for femmes who have no problem using their sexuality to survive and achieve goals."

for single black mothers everywhere raising queer, different, gifted, non-normative children; for penny:

raising a queer child should be

together, 
we failed normal

of being. 
together,

of love, grace, and understanding.
together, 
we haved radically mothered
each other. 
together,
we will heal.
