Live Review: CAKES DA KILLA 'Up Out My Face'

Cakes Da Killa changes up his style on 'Up Out My Face' with a house beat to complement his rapid fire rapping.

Cakes Da Killa changes up his style on 'Up Out My Face' with a house beat to complement his rapid fire rapping.

Cakes Da Killa is known for his fast raps mixed with lyrics that promote aggressive and sexual subject matter, and in 'Up Out My Face', he keeps up his signature flavour of rap. However, instead of a trap or hip-hop beat, he opts for a house beat that keeps a fast and steady tempo to rap on. Different to other songs, it doesn't feel entirely out of character given his penchant for pushing himself into new territories and the way his flow fits in naturally with the beat.

If 'Up Out My Face' and his previous single 'Talking Greezy' are any indication of what is going to be on Cakes Da Killa's upcoming album it shows that it will be diverse but still hold similar elements of his previous works.

Cakes Da Killa has impressive rapping ability that's paired with his keen ear for interesting beats, making him such a powerhouse in the underground rap scene. His debut album Hedonist is sure to turn some heads and give Cakes Da Killa some much deserved attention.
