Lupe Fiasco's had a rough time getting his record out, but ever since receiving a release date from Atlantic, he's proved that he's making some of his best music in years. "Deliver", a Ty Dolla $ign-assisted song that addresses various stigmas around America's "ghettos" was a triumph of a first single -- as well written as it was uncompromising. Fiasco's new record is in a similar vein, politically-charged and tastefully presented.
The always impressive DJ Dahi provides the instrumental here, while Nikki Jean contributes the breathy hook. "Madonna" will be available as a free download for those who purchase Testuo & Youth when the pre-order goes live at midnight tonight.
Quotable Lyrics:
Laywer said I'd be alright
But I think that he lyin' to me
They really wanna throw those lines to me
Put me in the line, put the knives to me
Put me in the sky, put it to my side
Then push it inside of me
