If you haven't already listened then you have to hear CupcakKe's new album.

At 20 years old, she has released two mixtapes and three studio albums in less than two years, which could be excessive andrepetitive but instead the rap queen is only getting better with every release.

'Ephorize', her third album, dropped on Friday and has been getting rave reviews, and the prestigious, often high-browPitchfork have just rated it 8.3, which is'huge'.

To put this into perspective,'Ephorize'is officially in the same bracket as BeyoncΓ©'s'Lemonade', Lorde's'Melodrama' andJay-Z's eight-time Grammy-nominated'4:44', so basically she's running with the big dogs.

Jay-Z's'4:44'scored 8.4 - the same as SZA's'Ctrl'- while Lorde's Album Of The Year nominee was rated 8.8. Basically what we're saying is 'Where's CupcakKe's Grammy?'

Reacting to the news on Twitter, CupcakKe was her usual ever-humble and adorable self, saying "omggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg." Same, if we were famous.
