Street-savvy, socially conscious, soulful and a little avant-garde, Lupe refuses to be pinned down to just one lane. On “Dots & Lines”, he incorporates twangy fiddle and harmonica into raps about sacred geometry, while in “The Cool”, a dead man kicks open his casket to walk his old neighbourhood. Fiasco even spits a guest verse about gentrification on “This City” by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump.
