With the release of his third (and possibly final) album Lasers on the horizon, Lupe Fiasco steps forth from the shadows with his first single, Shining Down featuring Matthew Santos. Santos also joined Lupe on Superstar, the lead single from The Cool, and his biggest to date. What I've always admired about Lupe over other artists is his balance - his music is always something to vibe to, yet it's message is never overrun with ignorance. Lasers is scheduled for release later this year, but a definite date is unknown at this time. Let me know what ya think...
