Manila And Jinkx Team Up For New Song

I was originally going to wait until the full track was out, but the internet seems to be going literally insane over this track already, so I figured I'd hop on it as soon as possible. It looks like Manila has enlisted fellow RPDR alumni and current crown holder Jinx Monsoon to help out with her new track. What do they have in store for us? Well it is Manila Luzon we are talking about, so it's bound to be crazy!


NewNowNext broke the story (that Manila had already basically given away on her Facebook), and people are very excited over this one. Since it's not show-related, we get to hear about it before hand, instead of it appearing out of nowhere like "The Chop". They seem to have put a lot of time and energy into this one, and I for one am beyond excited for it's release.

Jared Jones, who also produced "The Chop", had apparently sent Manila a new song he wanted her to record. Manila was hesitant about there being a rap part, so she decided to have a feature instead. Who better to rap in a drag queen song than another drag queen? And who better to ask than the one queen who rivals even Sharon Needles's popularity? Personally I think this was a genius move, especially since they both capture camp without being one-note with it.

Which brings me to the topic of the video. This is pretty much all they gave away. There was no snippet of the song in the interview, just the two talking. Apparently they are fairy drag mothers... who rap... and dress up like Spongebob and Patrick. I have no idea how all of those things really go together, but I can NOT wait to see Jinkx's Patrick Star outfit. They've got some other looks, such as partiers and workout spandex. Ivy Winters had a hand in some of the costuming, which wasn't much of a surprise given her closeness with Manila lately.

So who is excited for this song? It's not Manila's only track coming out. She has a song with gay rapper Cazwell coming up, and she's been hinting on Facebook of another project that is coming to realization. Manila is not going to let 2013 go to waste, it seems. That's good for me because in my heart, Manila won both season three and All Stars!
