    On DMIZ the rapper finds a third gem in the post-T&Y crown, building his incisive pen into smaller frameworks -- with stunning consequences.

    With no filler or fluff, this album is bound to satisfy those who like their bars bountiful and Lupe Fiasco in peak form.

    If Fiasco could take the energy captured on the breathtaking second verse of "Ms. Mural", a truly fantastic trilogy-capper, and stay there for an entire project he might finally make his masterpiece; this time around, though, unhurried and easy is a suit that he wears well.

    With nothing to prove, no features or flashy hooks or bells and whistles, it is his most accessible album in seven years.

    Drill Music in Zion is strong but weighed down by its heavy message and repetitive structure, ultimately highlighted by lengthy runtimes.

    An unpredictable force who is unafraid to speak the truth, Lupe Fiasco merges the modern with the classic for another powerful project.

    No one song matches the widespread appeal of Lupe’s best work. Still, the overall impression makes up for that lack of dynamism; the understated tracks give his intricate riddles room to breathe and Drill Music in Zion gives Lupe’s humanity and command of language plenty of space to exhale.

    Borrowing 10 beats from inventive producer Soundtrakk’s vault, Lupe tries out different flows with varying success.

    Lupes best work in almost a decade. Masterful lyricism and flow. An absolute pleasure to the ears of any rap fan.

    Another classic from the man. I was blown away by this project. Lupe constantly shows us that his pen is not from earth.
