Lupe Fiasco returns with the “DRILL MUSIC IN ZION” album.
After announcing it last month, Lupe Fiasco has finally dropped his brand new eighth studio album “Drill Music In Zion”. The album is his first in four years and a follow-up to 2018’s “Drogas Wave“.
Apart from a two song, Lupe hasn’t released anything since Drogas Wave four years ago, but he’s back. DRILL MUSIC IN ZION is undoubtedly his most approachable album in years, with Lupe demonstrating himself to be in excellent poetic condition. However, it remains to be seen whether he can equal that classic’s cultural impact and inspire a new generation.
Last year, Fiasco revealed that he was making a new 10-song album in 24 hours, but the fans never get to hear it as it was not released. A few months back, engineer Craig Bauer said that he heard the new project from the Chicago rapper, and declared it album of the year. “The new @lupefiasco record is Rap Album of the year,” he wrote on his IG story. “Nah. Decade. If you don’t feel something after listening to this…. You may want to check your pulse.”
The new project contains 10 tracks, with guest appearances from Ayesha Jaco and Nayirah.
