Mar 21, 2019For me this album is criminally critically underrated. This is on a part with Kendrick Lamar's GKMC. The concept of resurrection, fight and spirit runs all the way through this album. WAV Files and Jonylah Forever are standouts for me, but I wouldn't say theres a weak song on the album. Wordplay and lyricism is good as ever and the production in wonderful! Looking forward to Skulls

Oct 25, 2018One of the most amazing albums in 2018 to date, its a shame that this album is underrated and being slept on. This is a classic Hip-Hop album which deserves listening. The message and tone that Lupe Fiasco illustrates is a consistent and wonderfully wrapped project that has a lot of meaning n its message. Enjoyable and has replay value despite its heavy topics. A true masterpiece.

Oct 19, 2018Amazing!! Expansive, yet somehow, it is cohesive and conceptually sound. I wish this LP got the shine that it deserves.

Oct 9, 2018Lupe at his best, with all the production and vocal backing that made us fans in the first place.

Oct 4, 2018Best HIP HOP album oF 2018. Don't believe the critics! real lovers of hip hop will have a deeply profound respect for the concept and story of the album; let alone the execution! 9.9999/10.

Oct 3, 2018Amazing hip hop album. Front to back with some of the most complex songs with some of the best beats that Lu has rapped on. Easy 10/10

Oct 3, 2018There hasn't been a single skippable song on this 24 track long project and I'm bumping this **** in the whip all day which makes this album easily a 10 out of 10!

Oct 2, 2018The run starting at "XO" is the real DROGAS Light: a summery shimmer of pop-rap which hits breathtaking highs with the delicate jazzy musings of "King Nas", or "Happy Timbuck2 Day"'s Tribe Called Quest-esque tribute to a legendary Chicago DJ. The other album, where the Wave section of the album name is derived, which loosely comprises the first half of the album and revolves around a mythical group of vengeful drowned slaves, isn't just Lupe Fiasco's best but easily one of the greatest albums I've heard in recent memory.

Oct 1, 2018At 24 tracks and 98 minutes long, the bloated project sounds like two distinct albums. Often we learn more from a story by what isn’t written, rather than by what is. Lupe spends so much time telling the story of everything, he leaves little room for the listener’s reflection on anything.

Oct 1, 2018It’s clear that DROGAS Wave has enough value to be memorable but is less than the sum of its parts.
