Dec 13, 2022On DMIZ the rapper finds a third gem in the post-T&Y crown, building his incisive pen into smaller frameworks -- with stunning consequences.
-
Jul 7, 2022No 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.
-
Jun 28, 2022With nothing to prove, no features or flashy hooks or bells and whistles, it is his most accessible album in seven years.
-

-
Jun 27, 2022Borrowing 10 beats from inventive producer Soundtrakk’s vault, Lupe tries out different flows with varying success.
-
Jun 27, 2022An unpredictable force who is unafraid to speak the truth, Lupe Fiasco merges the modern with the classic for another powerful project.
-
Jun 27, 2022With no filler or fluff, this album is bound to satisfy those who like their bars bountiful and Lupe Fiasco in peak form.
-
Jun 27, 2022If 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.
