Lupe Fiasco has been one of the most skilled, creative, and talented lyricists and producers in hip-hop for a while now. Despite his legendary track record and three-decade career, he still finds ways to impress his fans and the industry, and to remind listeners that he's still got it. Moreover, the Chicago MC just dropped a new single, "Roc-A-Fella Y'all," that's as raw and straightforward of a Lupe track as there could ever be. It's a lyrically dense offering, so maybe "straightforward" isn't the right word, but part of his talent is making that exercise into something digestible, charismatic, and above all engaging. Through a well-chopped, nostalgic, and lush beat, the DRILL MUSIC IN ZION rapper does just that.
Of course, this drop should be very exciting for Lupe Fiasco fans, given that he's been on a bit of a run if you look at the past few weeks. Sure, he's always been quite a prolific artist, but since he's on another level, it's never a bad time to introduce some Lupe into your weekly release rotation. Barely a month ago in June, he released the single "Checkin'," and a couple of weeks ago he dropped "CHANNEL No3." Before that, there was the April single "SentRock," so hopefully this is part of a new album cycle that comes sooner rather than later. Given the "all proceeds to my chain" motif on "Roc-A-Fella Y'all" and "CHANNEL No3," it looks like that might be the case.
