One of Boston’s most unflappable artists is going full-on flapper girl.
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that Cakeswagg swing in the video for “Big Plays,” the rapper’s new Prohibition-themed visual.

“‘Big Plays’ is meant to reenact and evoke the romanticism and the allure of the jazz age,” Cakeswagg tells Vanyaland. “My goal was to take viewers back to the roaring 20s where there was a boom in mass entertainment, a revolution of morals and manners, and a rebellion for the rules… just like me.”
You can hide the booze, but you can’t hide bars this slick.
