Season 9 'Drag Race' Queens Teamed Up for This NYC-Themed Dance Anthem

"Read U Wrote U" who??

A few of the season 9 Drag Race queens are feeling their oats, smashing gender norms, and reading the house down in the new music video for the song "C.L.A.T." Aja, Peppermint, Sasha Velour, and Alexis Michelle collaborated for the dancehall track and it is a banger y'all.

"C.L.A.T." is an ode to New York City, home of the four queens, and each queen represents a different aspect of the acronym and what makes the city so great. Aja represents Club, Peppermint is Legend, Sasha Velour is Art, and Alexis Michelle is Theatre.

It looks like Sasha Velour might be the Alaska of this group because her "Art" verse absolutely slays. On top of absolutely destroying every preconceived notion on gender norms, she throws some excellent shade at Acid Betty, who (during a workroom conversation with RuPaul on last season of Drag Race) once described New York queens as "hairy."
