We premiere three brilliant new low-fi videos from rapper Cakes da Killa.<\/p>\n

We’re pretty big fans of rap extraordinaire Cakes da Killa here at\u00a0Wonderland<\/em>. The term “Queer Rap” is a controversial one (do disparate LGBTQ hip-hop artists need to be lumped under one umbrella term? Is that definition helpful or merely offensively distracting?), so, let it suffice to say that Cakes da Killa is a rapper unafraid to talk about his queer sexuality or, indeed, his queer sex acts – often with hilarious results. After his critically lauded (and very funny) 2013 mixtape,\u00a0The Eulogy<\/a><\/em>, Cakes – AKA Rashard Bradshaw of New Jersey – has gone from strength to strength. His most recent release, #IMF<\/a><\/em>, put his trademark lyricism over thumping, frequently tribal, electronica: and we loved every minute.<\/p>\n

Now he’s back in typically unconventional\u00a0style, with a trilogy of videos\u00a0from online-radio kings, NTS Radio<\/a>, that we are immensely proud to premiere. Filmed in a park in north-east London, the three pieces see Cakes sitting in a playground, bucket hat firmly on head, spitting bars and ad-libbing (“This is the bit with the CGI snow”, “I wish I was in a car right now!”) all with his playful charm in fine fettle. The videos – “Goodie Goodies”, “High Tides” and “Drop Top” – are part of a wider YouTube series by NTS<\/a>\u00a0that has already included the likes of Throwing Shade, Jay Boogie, and Raekwon. So, stay tuned for more and stick Cakes’ video playlist on repeat.<\/p>\n
