Let the countdown to Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 begin. Lupe Fiasco is officially back on the scene pushing his new project with the single Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free). With the performance last night of Stevie Wonder on the Billboard Awards, I was reminded of how most current day mainstream music is missing a message. It seems like Lupe isn’t part of that group of artists, and reminded me today that there are still guys out there making dope music. Oh, did I mention the track samples Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth’s They Reminisce Over You? Yeah….check this joint out right now.
