Part of the Ghostly Beats Project, spearheaded a few months ago by the Trans Trenderz label who are committed to putting out music exclusively made by Black Trans artists, Lady Londyn’s “All on Me” is their latest single.

“All on Me” is a queer anthem that speaks to the liberation of trans feminine bodies  meant to remind wxmen that their bodies are theirs to own and be proud of.

“All on Me” is a boastful and cocky commentary to what it is to be desired as a Black Trans woman.

“The process of making this song was really magical,” says Lady Londyn,  “It all started with a bass line that Blxck Cxsper brought to me one evening and while I was freestyling ideas on it they came up with the beat on the spot. There’s something about this song that makes you just feel kick ass and I can’t wait to see the girls reactions to it.” 

Lady Londyn was one of five artists featured in the stepping out video “Splash.”

Trans Trenderz was launched in 2016 when Cxsper curated and produced a mixtape of the same name, featuring 14 Trans artists. The feeling at the release party was unlike anything they had experienced before. “You could feel how excited people were to finally see Trans folks on stage. It didn’t feel like a show, more like a family reunion,” they explain. “There was no hierarchy between the artist and the audience, everybody was contributing to the love in that room in their own way.” Wanting to continue to provide that space for themselves and other like-minded artists, Trans Trenderz officially evolved into a record label, signing Transgender and gender non-conforming acts.

 In June of 2020, when the Black Lives Matter movement regained traction, Cxsper offered to make beats for other Black Trans artists. Within days, 30 artists reached out to them to collaborate. Around the same time, Myla, a Black Trans woman from Dallas, TX, contacted Cxsper wanting to donate some of her PUA money to help Black Trans people. They decided to use the funds to cover release costs for Black Trans musicians, and a new endeavor, The Ghostly Beats Project, was born. As soon as it was announced, Black Trans artists and allies alike began to get in touch to become involved, and it has continued to grow from there. More than a label, Trans Trenderz is a movement, uplifting Black Trans Voices through creative collaboration and supporting each other as a family.
