Hand Job Academy (or "H.J.A." for the squeamish) is a rap collective formed in late 2010 comprised of three female emcees based in Brooklyn. Current lineup includes Ash Wednesday (née Barbara Bushwick), Clara Bizna$$, Lil' T (who doubles as the group's videographer), and DJ Marlow rounding out the live show.
Controversial, outspoken, nasty but charming, the Academy raps about periods, pop culture, and queerness as well as traditional hip-hop themes of fucking bitches, getting money, and superiority over enemies.
Straddling the worlds of comedy and hip-hop, H.J.A. have shared stages with the likes of Big Dipper, Nicky Da B, and Cakes Da Killa, as well as opened for Janeane Garofalo and Kristin Schaal and multiple appearances on the public access TV program, The Chris Gethard Show.
