Lupe Fiasco’s new project “Drill Music In Zion” was made in 3 days.
Last week, Lupe Fiasco dropped his brand new album “Drill Music In Zion“, his first in four years and a follow-up to 2018’s “Drogas Wave“. The album featured 10 tracks, which were made in less than three days, reveals the rapper.
“I ‘wrote’ (I actually didn’t write it more like spoke it) & self-recorded ‘Drill Music In Zion’ from scratch over the course of 72 hours, give or take some hours, only stopping to eat and sleep, entirely on GarageBand with a $100 USB microphone in my living room,” wrote the Chicago rapper on his Twitter.

The follow-up to Drogas Wave from 2018 was Lupe Fiasco’s eighth studio album, Drill Music In Zion. The first song, “AUTOBOTO,” served as the launchpad for the campaign in May. In a press release, the 40-year-old MC detailed the environment in which he created it. “Your whole life you’re physically growing, and as an artist, I feel like I’m taller now,” he said. “Not that I’m at a higher place of morality, it’s that my vantage point and perspective is higher. I can see further.”
Last year, Fiasco revealed that he was making a new 10-song album in 24 hours, and it looks to be the same project but took a little more than a day. 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.”
