Cakes da Killa: Performing Artist in New York

About Cakes da Killa

Cakes da Killa is the stage name of rapper and electronic artist Rashard Bradshaw, first associated with New York’s early-2010s wave of openly queer hip hop. His work threads hip house and ballroom vocabulary into club-ready rap, moving easily between live vocals and DJ-driven structure. At Signal in NYC, he has appeared on bills like Higher! alongside Nita Aviance, Rush Davis, and 550am, where tight mixing and rhythmic control set the tone. His performances favor pace and articulation over spectacle.
