Cazwell explores the Selfie picture taking Phenomenon
I personally do not take selfies. And I do not understand the people who do. Constantly.

the cameras they house. Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr provide
potentially far-reaching platforms to broadcast close-ups of our faces,
particularly the ones we deem fit for consumption by others.
Cazwell’s
new track takes aim at all those Instagram over-sharers (you know who
they are) who just can’t stop taking photos of their hot bods.
“It reflects our ever-growing need to be viewed as popular and attractive,” says the gay rapper.
