Chicago rapper CupcakKe is back with a new single “Lawd Jesus.”
CupcakKe’s crass approach to rap music has defined her look and sound. Despite all ups and downs in 2019, the rapper is back with new music. Last year, after dropping off a handful of loose tracks including a raunchy remix to Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road, CupcakKe announced a retirement.
“Recently, the past night and today, I just been sporadic and it’s because I wanted to get as much attention as possible to let y’all know that I will no longer be doing music,” she said. “All of my music will be coming off of every platform.” she said on an Instagram live video according to BET.
Hip-hop artists, however, never really retire and CupcakKe follows suit. Briefly after the retirement announcement, CupcakKe returned to social media, announcing a new record deal and upcoming new music.
On “Lawd Jesus” CupcakKe attempts to break away from old habits she feels are holding her back.
