Lupe Fiasco Releases ‘Jump’ With Gizzle

Lupe Fiasco is preping the release of his independent album DROGAS Light. He recently dropped “Wild Child” featuring Jake Torrey. On Monday (Jan. 9), Lupe delivered a more rap-centric banger called “Jump” featuring Gizzle.

The song premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio program. Produced by Soundtrakk, the track boasts a bass-heavy beat and features Lupe and Gizzle detailing their stories of meeting unusual people.

For Lupe, he raps an allegory tale of meeting a drug dealer named Suzi Uzi wants him to ghostwrite some rhymes for her. “With a blunt between her lips, she said, ‘Now here’s my proposition’ / You just write a bunch of raps for me and I’ma go and spit ’em / Then we take ’em to the radio, the DJ better spin ’em / Then we take ’em to the record store and sell a couple million,” he raps.

It appears the “Superstar” rapper is embracing his new independence. Before releasing his new single, Lupe tweeted, “Treat every song like a start up.”

Lupe Fiasco’s DROGAS Light is set to hit stores on Feb. 10 via Fiasco’s own indie label 1st & 15th/Thirty Tigers. The 14-song collection boasts guest appearances that include Ty Dolla $ign, Rick Ross, Big K.R.I.T, Gizzle and others.
