If you've even given a passing thought to Miley Cyrus' domination of the airwaves and blogwaves lately, here's your due opportunity to tune out. Lizzo, a rapper of Detroit-then-Houston-then-Minneapolis descent, has announced the release of her debut full-length, LIZZOBANGERS, and from this video, we already know which bangers-related album is going to dominate. Lizzo's "Batches & Cookies" not only puts us in the mind to eat huge donuts and ride around on a motorcycle, but it also has us thinking our summer might not be entirely over. The track, whose hook is so addictive it's, well, like cookies, comes from the October 15 album, due out on Totally Gross National Product. Watch the vid above, look for the full-length here, and then catch Lizzo completely outperforming Cyrus with Har Mar Superstar at the dates below.
