New Mixtape: Lupe Fiasco, "Jesus"

 Following a disappointing reception to the album "Lasers," Lupe returns with an extremely enjoyable mixtape, featuring 12 tracks of solid rapping on top of the Chi-town rapper's unique production style. Released Thanksgiving, 2011, this outspoken politically-charged package offers plenty for longtime fans to be excited about.

Standout tracks include: "Double Burger with Cheese," "Life, Death in San Francisco," and
"Super Cold." On "Life, Death," Lupe impressively maneuvers an incredibly versatile rap over John Coltrane's "Acknowledgement" from the standard album A Love Supreme.
