Artist Gabriel Tirado’s latest single “Cupid” takes idealistic notions of love and flips it on its head. The Florida based rapper, most notable for his singles “Cash Rules” ft Lil Baby and “I’m a Dog” ft Lil Boosie; drops his most heartfelt song to date. “Cupid” touches on the reality of maintaining love amid struggle and grind. Gabriel Tirado masterfully articulates his perspective on love with one of the best hip-hop love song choruses of 2019. “Cupid is useless when it comes to making love.” According to G.Tirado, love isn’t some handholding stroll down a flowery meadow. Love is work.
In true artistic fashion, Gabriel Tirado uses “Cupid” official music video to drop an even deeper message to his fans.

Tirado into falling in love with a fair-skinned cliche model over Gabriel’s true choice; a dark-skinned voluptuous woman. The video speaks to old stereotypes about beauty in the hip-hop industry…but that is a discussion for another time. Check out “Cupid” by Gabriel Tirado, it’s a summer banger!
