Don\u2019t be fooled by his cute face!\u00a0Cakes Da Killa\u00a0<\/a>has killer lyrics and\u00a0a no bullsh*t\u00a0approach to\u00a0work and relationships. The\u00a0Jersey\u00a0born, NY based rapper has been creeping onto the scene since high school but really made you look with his video for \u2018Goodie Goodies\u2019 (2013) <\/a>and\u00a0mix tape\u00a0\u2018Hunger\u00a0Pangs\u2019\u00a0(2014)<\/a>. A front-runner in the LGBT hip hop genre, he\u00a0probably\u00a0runs your club<\/a>.\u00a0Today he\u2019s releasing his new music video for \u2018Mixed Messages,\u2019 directed by\u00a0Mark Lovato and\u202fGella Zefira-right here on Wonderland!<\/p>\n

Cakes explains\u00a0\u201cthe video\u00a0was inspired by classic\u202fpsychological horror genres, in particular\u202fVertigo and The Shining. It’s about experiencing that emotional limbo when you\u2019re on the receiving end of unclear messages\u00a0or mind games.\u202fHere Cakes is caught in a moment in time on replay, that space between\u202fexcitement and frustration. \u202fIt’s a\u202frelatable, but perhaps too frequent phenomenon that we’ve all experienced at one time or another from people that catch our interest.\u202f In the end they become your ghost.\u201d<\/p>\n
