“Walkin’ through the city like Diddy, get my cheesecake”- Maxo Kream
Song: “Don’t Play With Shawty Ass” by Maxo Kream
Making the Band flashback anyone? Infamously mogul Diddy asked cast members of his group building show to retrieve him a slice of famous Junior’s cheesecake to prove their dedication back in 2002. Houston rapper Maxo Kream remembers and seems to have the same craving while venturing around the big apple. Obviously this as a caption would be perfect for a flick whilst holding a slice or eating one, but really any quintessential NYC in motion pic will do. Pose mid stride on the lower east side and use this caption to certify the fly.

Can’t quite reach the top shelf? UK singer Hope Tala has the one liner just for you! If someone grabs a cute candid shot of you trying to reach that one kitchen ware item you need to complete the cook, use this to complete the post. A perfect compliment to the shot of you dripped down in an apron and clogs mid reach. The song is about cautiously proceeding in a relationship, but the caption could be about cautiously pulling that perfect bowl off the shelf without it falling and breaking.

New pics for your website uploading of you typing away with a thick white coffee mug beside you with the words “no one cares work harder” on it?

“We cloud people, we live in gray”- Jamila Woods
Song: “Tides” by Bonobo feat. Jamila Woods
From smoke clouds to real clouds this caption has dual usage potential. Chicago songstress Jamila Woods has provided a line perfect for brand new outside fall sweater pics on a gray cool day, but also for chillin’ inside puffing loud or hookah or both sitting in a room full of smoke. Clever possessive lyric here that reaches a broad audience and signifies a communal feel. Seasonal and recreational at the same damn time!
