DESCRIPTION: There are very few artist whose debut works feel intimate and personal and are able to find main-stream success. With the release of “Food & Liquor” Chicago native, Lupe Fiasco walked tightrope balancing infectious beats and song arrangements with his once in a generation lyricism to create a project with infinite replay value. This album has layer upon layer of meaning for you to listen discover over time. It’s a project that ages with the listener and wherever you are mentally the strives to meet you there.

BEST SONG: Daydreamin’
