The Prince of Freshness drops some more heat from the forthcoming and highly anticipated Airborne mixtape, this time teaming up with longtime friend Pharrell and labelmate Lupe Fiasco for Oh Yeah. Lyrically, Diggy gets it IN on this track, which is highly admirable for anyone on a track with Lupe Fiasco. I can’t wait to hear Young Diggy’s mixtape, this dude is blowin’ up! Rumble young man rumble… Read the rest of this entry »

Janelle Monae calls on labelmates B.o.B. and Lupe Fiasco for the WondaMix to her blazing new single Tightrope. The bass line gets a funky upgrade and Ms. Monae even steps in and spits a pretty sick flow too. If you haven’t already copped her debut album The ArchAndroid (reviewed here) it’s highly recommended! This remix is definitely on point! Three lyrical geniuses on one record… nice! Read the rest of this entry »
Here’s the new video from underrated hip-hop star Lupe Fiasco. A few things before we proceed:
1. Go see the Steppin’ Lasers tour when it comes to a city near you. This lil dude has an AWESOME stage show. Don’t believe me? Check the footage here.
2. If you don’t have Food & Liquor AND The Cool I don’t know what to say except: STEP YOUR MUSIC GAME UP!
3. Support this dude. He makes good GREAT music. Now do I lie?
On to the video, I like how he incorporated the kids in to this empowering song. Still waiting on a release date for the album, which he did say would be coming some time this week. So we’ll stay tuned on that. Read the rest of this entry »
I don’t know that I’ve heard a Lupe Fiasco song I didn’t like. Teaming up with Alicia Keys? GOOD MOVE for Mr. Beamin… very good move. This song feels really good, the funky bass line, Alicia’s vocals, the song overall is just great.At the Steppin Lasers tour, he announced that LASERS will be getting a release time frame this week. Now whether this track will appear there is anyone’s guess. The song kinda gives me glimpses of the 70′s and 80′s eras of music meshed with Lupe’s ever-so-current and unequivocal flow. In a word: DOPENESS! Read the rest of this entry »
In memory and honor of the events that struck the impoverished nation of Haiti, Lupe Fiasco has joined forces with Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park to record Resurrection.

The outpouring of love for Haiti has been abundant and it continues… Read the rest of this entry »
