Lupe Fiasco's Upcoming 'DROGAS WAVE' Is a "Long" Concept Album About American Slavery
Lupe Fiasco canceled two 2017 albums following the release of DROGAS Light, but that doesn't mean he's done making music or retiring from rap.
In a brand new interview on h Live!, a program on Malaysian television station Astro Awani, the Chicago MC revealed that his forthcoming full-length DROGAS WAVE—his seventh album in total and the first since his official divorce from Atlantic Records—will be a concept album about American slavery.
"My ancestors in America were slaves, who came from Africa. This album is kind of speaking to that, talking about that experience. But in a mythological way," Fiasco explained. "I don't want to give it up now... but it's talking about it with a supernatural spin."
