The Cool. Due out December 18th – just in time to stuff your own stocking – Lupe’s sophomore album, and perhaps 2nd to last album, will finally give us something else to ride to. I’ve already worn out Food & Liquor, so it would be an understatement to say I’m excited. “The Cool” was also a track from his first album, and one of my favorites at that. Lupe, former frontman of Da Pak, has really grown up since singing about skateboarding round town to singing about the struggles in his own life. This highly conceptualized album features characters such as The Game and The Streets (personifying hustler influence and urban corruption). Superstar, features Matthew Santos and already premiered on MTV2. Check the vid below. You are who you think you are.
