Okay, it's time for everyone to give CupcakKe the respect she deserves.

The rap queen releases her third studio album'Ephorize'today and it is further proof that she's one of the most versatile, quick-witted and consistent rappers in the game.

If last year's'Queen Elizabitch'was her stepping itup then this follow-up is her rewriting the rules of female rap as she continues to own her sexuality on her own terms.

The 'Biggie Smalls' rapper schools everyone from cheating exes, haters and homophobes on the album, which carries various themes just like its predecessor.

From her rapid-fire delivery and genius wordplay on 'Cartoons' to the introspective 'Self Interview' that clocks society's double standards against women andsuperficiality of fame, CupcakKe's skill has improved yet again.

Fans of X-rated CupcakKe don't need to worry either as 'Duck Duck Goose' is one of her filthiest tracks yet, soundtracked to slick '90s house production à la Azealia Banks' first mixtape.

While 'Ephorize'ismore polished and theproduction is her finest yet, CupcakKeisn’t leaving any of her dynamic personality behind for mainstream success and that's what we love.

The body-positive, sex-positive had her biggest year ever last year thanks to major collaborations withCharli XCX ('Lipgloss' and the all-star collab 'I Got It' with Pabllo Vittar and Brooke Candy) and we can't see her going anywhere.
