Drag Trap
2020 album by Yvie Oddly
Drag Trap is the debut studio album by American drag performer Yvie Oddly, released through Voss Music on October 23, 2020. Fellow RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Vanessa Vanjie Mateo is featured on "Hype".
Background
Yvie Oddly started working on the album following her appearance on the eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race. She has said, "My inspiration for Drag Trap comes from all sorts of places. When Season 11 aired and my life changed drastically I began writing raps to help me navigate my emotions. So the songs range from the pressures of fame, to my health, sex, and being a queer Black American ... and just everything I needed to get off my chest."
Promotion
The title track was released as a single alongside a music video in August 2020. The music video for "Hype" features Vanessa Vanjie Mateo and camero appearances by Brooke Lynn Hytes, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, and Soju. Yvie Oddly produced the music video for "Sick Bitch" with Willow Pill.
Reception
Cleo Mirza included Yvie Oddly in Westword's 2021 list of "Ten of the Best Denver Rappers".

Why this record matters
“Drag Trap” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Drag, Trap and album provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q101002731. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020 and 2021.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
