Earlier tonight, Lupe Fiasco paid a visit to Chicago radio station 107.5 and gave DJ MoonDawg the green light to premiere his new single “Next To It”, featuring Taylor Gang’s own Ty Dolla $ign. The record, which is produced by Ty Dolla and Shafiq Husayn, is the follow up to last month’s release “Mission”, and will live on Lupe's forthcoming LP Tetsuo & Youth.
Unfortunately, this version is pretty repetitive as Moondawg plays is back more than enough times. It's a good start of what to expect, but its really got me looking forward to the CDQ version now. (Update: Lupe just revealed that the single will hit iTunes this Tuesday, 6/24).
Tetsuo & Youth is due out later this year. Feature appearances on it will include Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Ab-Soul, Big K.R.I.T., Nikki Jean, and more.
Stream the new radio rip below. You feelin' this so far?
Quotable Lyrics:
Anything look good with a bitch next to it
And if the bitch got a face that’s pretty next to it
Riding around town something really exclusive
Bump a little Pac with some Biggie next to it
