Yellow Ranger is the debut album of American actress and rapper Awkwafina, released February 11, 2014. The title is a reference to the fictional character Trini Kwan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, who (like Awkwafina) is an Asian American woman. The album was touted as a feminist tract[1] and included previously released songs, such as "NYC Bitche$", "Queef" and "Yellow Ranger". The album was written and co-produced by Awkwafina. She recorded the original version of "My Vag" solely[2] on Garageband.[2][3][4] The track "Mayor Bloomberg (Giant Margarita)" was inspired by the New York soda ban.[5]
