One of the sweetest drag queens to ever come out of RuPaul’s Drag Race is Latrice Royale, who like Dr. Dre is straight out of Compton, or gay out of Compton.

Amazingly, she’s survived it all: having two brothers caught up in gangs and then she served time in prison for possession of a small amount of marijuana and a single pill of klonopin.

Today, Latrice Royale joins us to talk about her new album “Here’s to Life,” a collection of jazz classics that pays tribute to strong black women in show business like Broadway’s Ruth Brown and jazz icon Shirley Horn.

Latrice’s boyfriend Christopher Hamblin serves as the pianist and arranger for the album with fellow Drag Race contestant Mimi Imfurst as the album’s producer!

Listen as we talk with Latrice about her amazing drag family of Jasmine Masters, Lady Red Couture and Kennedy Davenport. What do these gals kiki about when the cameras aren’t rolling?

Chicago, check out her on April 2 at the Divas of Drag Showcase at the House of Blues.
