4.0 excellent | TheManMachine | January 24th 18 | "This rated R, not PG." Yeah yeah she's lewd and makes ya laugh. Right, not just lewd but dicks deep inside spread asses and cum as cake batter; makes ya laugh as in being the reason for your man's lotion-y phone and Bob The Builder reconstructing pussy walls. And steering it just clear of sheer shock-value novelty is how hard she spits and confidently she sells it -- the wit to push sex into the absurd, true tude for the cocky tuff stuff, touches of those 'other' topics like self-reflection. Literally jumping up+down on dicks but demanding devotion and wondering what it's all for and whatnot. Oh and a rhyme reserve and supply of similes unlimited enough to not need 100% win-lines. And even when playing profound and hailing (ahem) "the gays" comes off kinda contrived or a cereal is reduced to corny catchphrase, the beats-n-hooks continuously bang-n-bounce. Most Blush-worthy: "Spoiled Milk Titties".

3.5 great | Jared Floryan | January 16th 18 | My god... It's full of slurpers. Elizabeth Harris, far better known by the alias cupcakKe, proves to be an appealing personality on studio album #3. This is only the first ever release I've heard from her, though the material still floored me a little. With the bulk of Ephorize's production commandeered by Def Starz - Turreekk produced 3 out of the 15 songs here - the record boasts a chiefly hip hop sound whilst also bringing in musical styles like trap, pop, electro, Caribbean, and Latin (the latter influence is best showcased on "Fullest"). Harris herself ain't lazing on the mic either, her voice filled with vibrance and the flow she exhibits is slathered in... umm, jizz? Outside of the hypersexualized lyrics/imagery that gave the woman a strong (if notorious) online presence, she also dabbles in other subject themes such as self-esteem, problems found within the LGBTQ, and infidelity. Yeah, these aren't uncommon topics to tackle if this were anybody else, but Harris' one-liners and the overall brusque nature of Ephorize help enhance the power that these otherwise boilerplate themes have. If I have one major gripe with the album, the issue is that it's top-heavy as fuck: at 15 tracks totaling 46 minutes, the LP could've had trimming applied to it. Also the second act ("Fullest" aside) pales in comparison to the explosive first half. In general, though, Ephorize is a very fun effort on cupcakKe's part. Strong 3.5

3.5 great | cjbizzlebizzle | March 30th 18 | Whether CupcakKe is being serious, sexual or totally comical one thing remains the same, she can seriously rap. Her abilities are without question and she does a great job going from serious introspective topics to some of the raunchiest lyrics out there right now. The album starts off swinging with excellence in the fast flows of Cartoons and the hilarious yet well worded Duck Duck Goose summing up what you might come to expect from the rest of Ephorize. CupcakKe has a knack for making excellent references and riding a nice line between playfully sexual and at times serious.
