Produced entirely by Sam Katz, <i>Black Sheep<\/i> shimmers, gleams, pulses and throbs. Katz is a frequent collaborator who also helmed 2022\u2019s <i>Svengali<\/i>, but that record was mellower and more introspective. Here, he constructs a chain of groovy ass beats, a carnival funhouse of techno and house music sublimely suited to Cakes\u2019s riptide revelry.<\/p>\n<p>            There\u2019s the castanet-esque clatter of \u201cMake Me Ovah\u201d and the sweet-and-sour stomp of \u201cGlobal Entry;\u201d the boomingly methodical \u201cCrushin In Da Club\u201d and the subdued shuffle of \u201cFour Play.\u201d  Tempos pump up and slow down as Katz and Cakes tease out a different bounce for each track. Pick an activity \u2014 buying shots for the squad, buying shots for a shorty, cutting a rug in the crowd, cutting lines in a stall \u2014 <i>Black Sheep<\/i> has a song that fits the bill.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-260868\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            While this record is first and foremost <i>fun<\/i>, these songs are also acutely aware of their forebears. Cakes Da Killa plants his flag early on jangling album intro \u201cIt\u2019s a Luv Thing,\u201d spitting \u201ctechno, dance and house is black music.\u201d Cakes\u2019s emphasis on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ra.co\/features\/4130\">hip-hop as dance music<\/a> brings to mind the snap revivalism of TisaKorean or the clap-driven chaos of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/features\/article\/milwaukee-rap-scene\/\">Milwaukee rap<\/a>; I\u2019d be remiss not to note that CupcakKe fans should adore this record. Ill-informed pop aficionados might draw a connection to Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s <i>Renaissance<\/i>, but if you absolutely had to put Cakes in a box, his infectious love of the club more quickly recalls the ghettotech fireworks of HiTech or the flamboyant footwork of TekLife. That\u2019s due less to sonic similarity and more to ideological purity: like Milf Melly or DJ Paypal, Cakes Da Killa is focused on dance music\u2019s present, rather than its past.<\/p>\n<p>            But what really makes <i>Black Sheep<\/i> work is its earnest commitment. Plenty of MCs treat sex as a means rather than an end \u2014 NLE Choppa and Sexyy Red aside, rappers seem to love oral primarily as a vector for power play. By contrast, Cakes Da Killa embodies a genuine desire, unabashed and forthright. It\u2019s the difference between posting a thirst trap and texting it to the intended target \u2014 the former is pussy, the latter is cunt. And when it comes to getting what he wants, Cakes Da Killa will never be scared.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-260869\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7dZYVVGoirZvmYZC3s5Lyz?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>            <iframe allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; fullscreen *; clipboard-write\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:10px;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/black-sheep\/1726635059\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Vivian Medithi<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
