Eden is the fourth studio album by American rapper Cupcakke, released on November 9, 2018.[2] It is Cupcakke's second album of 2018, following January's Ephorize.[3] It includes the singles "Quiz" and "Blackjack". The album was also promoted by single "Hot Pockets" but this single was not included on this album.

Background[]

The album follows CupcakKe's announcement and subsequent of her plans to tour with Iggy Azalea on Iggy Azalea's Bad Girls Tour, which was later canceled[4] after Azalea's then-management failed to pay the promised $330,000 for the tour.[5] Cupcakke then announced that she would be going on her own tour after her album is released.[6]

Promotion[]

Cupcakke announced the album on Instagram, along with sharing a picture of herself covered in chocolate sauce and sprinkles while eating a strawberry,[6] which was revealed to be the cover art.

On Metacritic, the album has a score of 77, indicating "generally favorable reviews" based on five reviews.[7] Ani Blum of Pitchfork rated the album 7.9 out of 10 and called its songs "slathered in sex", writing: "Each track on Eden propels into the next, and her flow stays tight, whether she's cooing or shouting. It is a masterclass in control." Blum ended the review by complimenting Cupcakke's ability to go "from a condemnation of police brutality in one minute to a line about a dick the size of Ariana Grande's ponytail in the next. That ability to blend the real and the absurd, the cartoon and the corporeal, distinguishes CupcakKe from any other rapper."[1]
