House of Ladosha

House of Ladosha is a New York City-based artistic collective and LGBT rap duo including Antonio Blair ("Dosha Devastation aka La Fem LaDosha") and Adam Radakovich ("Cunty Crawford").[1][2] Other members include Neon Christina Ladosha (Christopher Udemezue), Magatha Ladosha (Michael Magnan), YSL Ladosha (Yan Sze Li), General Rage Ladosha (Riley Hooker), and Juliana Huxtable. Many of the members met as freshmen at Parsons School of Design.[3] The group was founded in 2007.[4] They have opened for Azealia Banks and performed with SSION.[5][6]

Members of the House of Ladosha work in video installation, performance art, drag, and music.[3] On occasion, the members of the House of Ladosha collaborate and work on content together. House of Ladosha create diverse content that makes one think about the content that they are looking at or listening to. Some members are inspiration for other members, while some members help each other with technical problems. Their music has been cited as a "deconstruction of hip-hop masculinity and sexuality" and Blair and Radakovich have referenced the film "Paris is Burning" as a major influence on their music as well as clothing.[7][6] Rihanna has been photographed wearing a "Cunt Life" shirt designed by the group.[6]

In 2017, House of Ladosha was included in the New Museum's exhibition "Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon."[8]
