Lupe Fiasco Paints A Colorful Mural With Words In An A Capella Verse (Video)

BY JORDAN COMMANDEUR • OCTOBER 22, 2018

Lupe Fiasco is the kind of lyricist that many Hip-Hop Heads hold in high regard. Perhaps the Chicago, Illinois MC earned that trust and respect, given the creativity he injected into Rap music during the mid-2000s. Although Lu’ achieved commercial pinnacles while experimenting with Pop, Rock, and other fusions in the decade since, he has never gotten too far away from his Rap roots. In recent years, Fiasco is making some cerebral, conceptual, and well—thumping music at an album level.

For those dedicated masses, Fiasco notably released DROGAS Light last February. He has stated the project was a prequel to the second installment in the trilogy, DROGAS WAVE. That LP finally reached the surface a month ago, and it has impressed critics and fans ever since. The effort is split into two parts, with the first clocking in at just under 38 minutes long, while the second section is just over an hour. The song that closes out Part 2 is “Mural Jr.,” a follow up to the popular “Mural” from 2015’s Tetsuo & Youth. The track is also the latest Lupe cut to get the video treatment, thanks to a collaboration with Vevo.
