“The Dragon Sisters are not your typical hip-hop act—nor do they want to be. Issa and Odessa Dragon, whose real names are Issa Perez and Cain Coleman (who also goes by Odessa), are rising stars in the city whose performances fuse elements of rap, classical dance, and drag to dramatic effect. In lieu of designer drips and streetwear, this duo embraces gender-bending thongs, corsets, and fishnets—all of which have a deeper meaning beyond how they look.”
