Lupe Fiasco has released the stream to his long-awaited DROGAS Light album a day ahead of its street release.
Debuting first on Billboard, the album is the Chicago MC’s first independent release since leaving Atlantic Records and teasing retirement.
“While Drogas Light signifies the beginning of the end for Fiasco, it represents how far he’s come since he first entered the game and merely accents the intellectual breadth of the discography he’ll leave behind,” Fiasco’s team said in a statement.
DROGAS Light, the first in a series of three albums he’s expected to release this year, is made up of 14 tracks, including the singles “Made in the USA” and “Tranquillo” with Rick Ross and Big K.R.I.T.
The other two LPs planned for 2017 are Drogas and Skulls.
Stream Lupe Fiasco’s DROGAS Light below and pick up the album in stores and on digital platforms tomorrow.

So Lupe Fiasco’s not done with music yet.
After announcing (another) retirement when his “N.E.R.D.” freestyle was deemed anti-semitic, the Chicago rapper shared the release date for his DROGAS Light album on Instagram today (December 24). The LP is set to drop February 10.
The project was supposed to be one of three — along with Drogas and Skulls — Fiasco wanted to release in 2016, but he said that clearance issues stopped him from sharing any of the music with his fans.
Lupe’s last full-length LP was Tetsuo & Youth, which dropped in January of 2015.

Thank God.
This pussy needa stay off Twitter and retiring every 5 minutes. Well, I guess he can bore everyone to sleep with his shit concepts and boring voice in February. Yay.
Tough talk behind a keyboard. The biggest pussies of all.
your either too dumb to grasp or comprehend any concept or you hate lupe for some other reason but cant express it cuz u a bigot.
*you’re
He got that Game Disease called “Flipfloplikeamotherfucker”. You never go full re…tired, Lupe.
why run your mouth when you dont know what happens in the background?… Aesop Rock convinced him to release it, y u complaining tho?
nobody cares anymore etc
I actually do. Speak for yourself. You don’t have the privilege of speaking for the masses.
Exactly all these people commenting “nobody cares ” act like the fact that they don’t care means nobody does.
When he spazzed out I said he was just emotional. He probably is fed up with the industry though. But I knew we’d be getting something. Y’all need to stop being negative and appreciate this nigga even dropping bc not many can touch him bar wise.
Bro the fact that you like this nigga means hes garbage
“The project was supposed to be one of three — along with Drogas and Skulls.”
Hhdx, I think y’all meant Roy and Skulls bc the article is about Drogas 🙂
No, this is Drogas Lite, which is a different album from Skulls.
God dammit I fucked up my comment. I meant to write that Drogas Lite is a different album from Drogas.
lupe fiasco is boring as fuck anyway. no one in my neighborhood and school listens to that nigga. we’re all waiting for young thug’s hytunes and lil b’s black ken. woop woop!
…Lupe gone dumb this one down just for y’all Idiots ?
Nigga you suck.
Lupe may very well be one of the last of the real ones…
Because too many mc’s quitted the game. Like Jay-Z, Hopsin, Lil Wayne, Ma$e, just to name a few.
Lupe Fiasco has an an estimated net worth of $14 million. This dude just lies to ya’ll and you love him for it! LUPEE is the fakest rapper there is dude trts to act humble and down to earth but all he cares about is his MONEY and getting your MONEY! This dude thinks hes all intellectual and profound with his half ass struggle man raps! Pathetic ass midget rapper thinks hes the savior of hip hop. He got you people so fooled when the last time he gave back to the community or released a free project or did something besides promote himself and his agenda of making more money of his wack ass albums all with super wack album titles GIVE IT UP ALREADY! Please! Society knows your not as you say you are! I know it and I know other people agree so just retire dude and maybe ill respect you in 10 years
Bruh the last time he helped someone? go look at the mural foundation , the last time he released a free project go check out pharaoh height.You obviously ain’t a Lupe fan so don’t act like your opinion is fact.
Whats not factual about what I said?
Dude is worth 14 million and raps like he is a poor struggling artist and how the system is oppressing him and record labels dont like him blah blah blah I hate complainers but rich arrogant complainers are the worst and thats dudes M.O sorry but you just have to admit your favorite rapper is fuckin wack now! It happens. Life goes on.
Who should we listen to then?
He started a non profit but doesnt donate barely any money to it! He just sells merch for it on his twitter page and the money supposedly goes to the charity but who knows. Dude got 14 MILLION DOLLARS NOT 1 NOT 4 but 14 MILLION! He cant even donate and half amil or even a quarter million to his OWN charity? Everyone is supposed to give there hard earned money to him so he can give it to a charity to make himself look good. Sounds like a fake ass pastor passin the plate and drivin home in a new caddy
Who should we listen to then? The floor is yours.
You on the other hand are more than a fan, you are a groupie. On here like u are defending your wifes honor or something. Lol. Weirdo.
-Comment an idiot makes
Lupe fucked his girl lol!
Let’s hear about YOUR contributions to society. Go ahead.
I agree just cause your black and rich doesnt mean you have everyday man struggles. I cant relate to dude either he hella annoying acting like hes this righteous ass dude when he just some rich bitch tryin to make more doe. I would rather listen to Don Cheadle complain about how hard his life is now with all his millions then this fraud ass loser tryin to rap about bullshit like record labels and people thunking hes weird. He is weird. Just cause your weird doesnt make you cool your just a fuckin weirdo thats it. The weirdos that like this shit know what time it it tho lol
Lupe is in my top 5 all day. His music is smart,thought provoking and always demands another listen, High replay value. His vast knowledge of various things is google like. He’s the best at understanding concepts to verses,tracks and albums. The guy puts in work and it shows. Do some extensive homework on this brilliant MC before you pass judgement. I bet your current playlist never did their homework……….ouch
Slurp
Lupe is a weird dude but I like weird. Fuck normality… Yes he’s different from his first album, yes a lot of stuff he speaks of or goes off on isn’t really known about, yes I may disagree with his views sometimes, yes he maybe rich now and not “give back” as much as you want him to. Yes I get tired of the retirement talkand gimmick… however good music is good music(whatever he does on his spare time is his business)If he does that, which he is fully capable of then all is good. Part of his music and art is to get you to research, to dig deep, to learn.. You know deep bars, metaphors, double entendres are coming. Don’t sleep on that.
FACTZ!!!!!!!
hey gang what’s going on?
Oh Lupee we know its you lil guy. Your music is still garbage we wont be buying your Drugs Light album just go get political with Will Smith somewhere and save a native tribe or some shit. You did pretty well for being a midget. Your probably the most famous midget in the world now after Webster died. God Bless
You do know there is a solution for that right? Don’t listen if you don’t like it. And honestly I don’t give a damn about his personal features, I’m not looking to date the guy. Just give me bars
I dont listen to that over hyped garbage can. You can waste your time and money on those down to earth midget man raps bro. Its your life but it also means I dont have to like fake ass rappers when I see em either and when I do see em being all wack and tryin to act like there gonna change the game with there b.s I say something. Im not a sheep. I like what I like not cause other people say its dope. Lupee will never change the game he might have had a chance but hes retiring now like an old lady that works at the lunch room cafeteria. Now he can focus on spending his millions and not have to worry about getting sued for breach of contact for not relasing his mandatory half ass albums that he has to put out.
And that’s fine… I’m not sitting here saying he’s the best ever or this album is gonna be a classic. My view is mixed towards him as well, however I know what he can do at times with the pen. My point towards you is simple. Why waste your time and energy commenting and clicking on this when you feel that way? I’m not looking to change your opinion, you’re entitled to that.
I just told you why if you would have read what I posted
All I got out of that was that you wanted it to be known you are not a “sheep”. I’m just hoping for some bars and dope word play like deliver. You don’t like cool, but if we’re going by the logic fake rappers, then half if not more of this industry would be gone.. unfortunately this isn’t the 90’s anymore where realness meant something.. most of the real dudes now are like slug of atmosphere.. maybe not the best ever but he goes about his grind and business and what’s real. I respect that. Agree to disagree.
Lupe is NOT weird. Lupe is a pop rapper who does anything for a little attention. Some weird rappers are: Kool Keith, Lil B, SGP, Injury Reverse, Doomtree.
I get what your saying, IMO his weird is a different type of weird… He’s all over the place and for the last how many years he says one thing and does another. If you wanna say pop rapper that’s fine, i understand his commercial hits you speak of and i wont disagree with that. I do know that labels force things at times though. Yes maybe he’s not on his food & liquor ish anymore, and this album may not be 5 stars… I’m suspecting some material from it will be decent though, and to not act like he can’t rap if he wanted to is outrageous. His features, and beat selection who knows at times.
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These shitty features are going to ruin really good songs. skrrt
Big Krizzle on there. That’s going be dope.
Can’t wait
Im waiting for that Lupe and Bushwick Bill collabo album
Its gonna be called The Cool Midgets
Its gonna have DJ Mustard on it with pickles
Thanks for admitting you’re a retard, beyotch!
This cheap loser cant even pay for any good features? Bro you got millions how you gonna put a bunch of unknown r and b singers on all your songs and give it to your fans? What a sorry p.o.s I feel bad for his fans he obviously doesnt care about the quality of his material. Im sure everyone hit his twitter for that Victoria Monet feature lol I bet that Simon Sayz verse (who ever that is) is gonna be fire. Maybe there more people you get on there the less wack rhymes you have to think of. Insert Big Words Here: Stay Off The Drogas!
Peace!
Because he wants to give those lesser known artists some shine, beyotch! What’s wrong with that? Bet you dont say shit when Drake features Wizkid or whatever other unknown foreign nigga on his songs. And he’s got Rick Ross on a song. Bet your punk ass didn’t see that, huh?
Doesnt this dude live in a mansion and drive a Ferrari? Wtf is he talking about?
Thats like Bill Gates rapping about being poor what a bunch of wackness
Hey im a black midget with a dictionary. I write rymes using google im super intelligent in shows when I use my big boy words that my fan base doesnt know exsist cause they never graduated high school so I look super smart when I rap amoeba with toshiba cause it sounds cool
lol
LMFAO! Fire!
Thanks for describing your life story to us, beyotch!
Bet you all these trolls listen to trash rappers like Yachty, Uzi and Desiigner. Go back to your Panda Panda bullshit.
Lupee fans are the worst
Your dad’s pulling out game is the worst.
he’s such a anti-semite.
FINNNNALLLLYYYYY. T&Y was hip hop perfection.
I miss the old Lupe
LUP EMPEROR !!! THIS SHIT SLAPPING LIKE 6 E. HONDAS ON THE BONUS ROUND
LISTEN!
Stop hating on “trolls”, if someone wants to pay us to diss Lupe, then so be it. We out here earning MONEY nikka! Where your bitch asses getting your milk from…. food stamps?
That’s what I thought!!!!!
21 century bitch, paid-for-opinions is life now, how you think Hilary got so far??? Wake up and get dat money nikka!!!
HOT GARBAGE.
By far Lupe’s worst album, worse than Lasers.
You just admitted earlier you get paid for posting negative comments about Lupe. WTF?
I just heard the whole album through twice. Its def more bumpin than his last one even though his last album is on a different level and has its own very vibe thats why its a classic. This new Drogas album just bumps all together. Definitely a 5/5 or a 4/5. It’s not a let down for sure.
The 1st track is awesome but what stands out is track 4, it has such a powerful message delivered in a unique manner. I can’t believe there’s 2 more albums comin out this year.
Listened to it four times already. Personally I don’t like it better than Testuo and Youth, however it is a great album. The only song I don’t really like is promise because he just keeps repeating that word and im like ack come on. However the lyrics have a point. Dopamin, NGL, Traquilo, Kill, Pick Up The Phone, Wild Child and More than My heart are my top picks. But that may change. Will be picking it up soon enough.
Lupe & Kendrick. Best rappers alive. A collab would be insane
The real is back
I could be wrong but Promise feels like it’s directed at Drake.
dammmm what a fall from grace. He was once the promised one.
