That’s Balls Blue


Cupcakke “Cartoons”

The chime sound looped through “Cartoons” lends an off-kilter psychedelic vibe to a rap track that is otherwise very aggressive and focused. Cupcakke’s voice has a punchy quality, so maybe it’s meant to feel like your head is spinning from getting pounded in the face with her words. As forceful as she is, she’s mostly being silly here – the entire chorus is funny wordplay on classic cartoons, and the verses are mostly clowning on lame guys and people who’ve had the nerve to doubt her. There’s a thing in rap where artists early in their career will brag as a way of willing their vision of themselves into reality, but that’s not quite what I hear on this song. She sounds confident but relieved, like she’s glad to just be the person rather than talk her way into it.

Buy it from Amazon.
