CupcakKe Live in Birmingham

The Chicago-born rapper CupcakKe — Elizabeth Eden Harris — brings her hypersexualized, brazen and often comical style to Birmingham. She first drew attention with the viral videos “Vagina” and “Deepthroat,” and her catalog spans everything from early mixtapes such as Cum Cake and S.T.D to studio albums like Queen Elizabitch, Ephorize and Eden, plus recent full-lengths Dauntless Manifesto and The Bakkery.

Her lyrics mix explicit wordplay with candid commentary on sexuality, hardship and faith, and she has written songs aimed directly at the gay community. With tracks ranging from the protest-minded “Picking Cotton” to “LGBT,” this standing-room, general-admission show offers a look at one of rap’s more distinctive voices.
