CAKES DA KILLA
[Cuntmafia | Mishka] his unique sound is a mix of various musical influences, cinema and underground experiences. The self-described gully cunt fuses NYC ballroom culture, hardcore hip hop, and raw vocal talent into an infectious witches brew. He is praised on both his lyrical content and flow -- a raunchy style usually compared to Nicki Minaj and Foxy Brown. Cakes has traveled to Europe, Canada and Australia, shattering the preconceived notions of what it takes to be a respected lyricist. Cakes brags that he can, "spit that shit to make a homophobe a hypocrite," and with each release he seems to be proving his point.
