Lupe Fiasco Drill Music in Zion

Twisting and contorting the English language to fit the meter and his every whim, Lupe Fiasco uses his superb lyrical skill to process the changing world in which he lives. Drawing connections between the concrete and spiritual in his hometown of Chicago, Lupe delivers his new album Drill Music in Zion. The product of a burst of thoughtful spontaneity, Lupe created the album over a short period, diving into a folder of beats sent by his longtime producer Soundtrakk and emerging with a fully-realized album in just three days. "Soundtrakk is the swordmaker, I'm the samurai," says Lupe. "He's the mechanic, and I'm the driver." Armed with Soundtrakk's soulful sounds, Lupe creates a focused statement that reflects on the past and paves a way forward, preaching strength through mindfulness and self-sustaining community. His first new album since 2018's Drogas Wave, Drill Music in Zion marks the start of another chapter in Lupe's illustrious career.
