He has classics to his name and with each new project, he looks to switch up his sound and give his fans something that is poignant and thought-provoking. With his latest full-length effort DRILL MUSIC IN ZION, that trend continues.

There are plenty of jazzy passages throughout this project, especially on songs such as "GHOTI." Lupe is spitting bars about the hardships people face today and how we cope with our realities. Every bar is well thought out and fans are certainly going to appreciate Lupe's work here.
