Video: Lupe Fiasco “Cake”

Lupe Fiasco has his “Cake” and is consuming too on his newest single. It has now arrived with its music video.

Over Soundtrakk and Kush Child’s head-nodding instrumental, the Chicago lyricist brings a plethora of metaphoric bars and tops it off with a melodic hook from the set of the video shoot.

“This shit taste like winter / Chocolate cake for dinner / Birthday cake for breakfast, slice it like a ninja / Pick up all the pieces, assemble like Avenger / Authoring is August, wordplay is December.”

“Cake” is the second single following “Samurai” off his forthcoming ninth studio album, Samurai, which is due June 28.
