Santi White is Santogold

... And I'm a big ass fan.

Pegged as New York's M.I.A., this lady is a hot tranny mess (... I think that's a good thing, I'm not completely used to the new gay-blog lingo) of good music, good style and good press. Santogold's soulful funky mix of non-shitty music and already massive hipster following means you probably won't be able to leave one DJ night this summer without dancing to at least a few of her anthems.

Side Point: I tried to explain to my mom today what a “hipster” was... (Seeing as how only moms, magazine editors, and Philberity still use the word.) That, in NYC they are people whom generally live in Brooklyn, whom weigh between 98 and 117lbs, whom wear ironically nostalgic clothing one size too small or one size too big and whom when they have sex with you, leave you a minimum of a 2 hour train ride back to Manhattan. And that in Philadelphia, they are people whom ride their bikes places, whom eat WaWa cheese hoagies and whom attend either a Thursday at Silk City or one night at the Barbary, each week... My mom is understandably still a little confused, she asked, “so are you a hipster?” “No mom... I take cabs.”

Point is, I love her, I think you will too. Here's her video for L.E.S. Artistes...

Ugh News Update:
We tried to contact Ms. Gold for an interview regarding this story, but as we are not yet a fully respected news outlet or actually any kind of respected outlet at all. And in fact a blog that gets updated about as much as a Sal's DJ's playlist... we we're unable to get a response. Lady Santi... are you reading this??
