Just days after quitting Twitter, the unpredictable Lupe Fiasco liberates “Mural,” another song off his album Tetsuo & Youth. On the nearly nine-minute track, the outspoken MC drops some knowledge with his enlightening and witty words.
His final album for Atlantic Records will be released on Jan. 20 featuring Ab-Soul, Trae Tha Truth, Fam-Lay, Guy Sebastian, Glasses Malone, and more.

Now that my contract is over and I have other things that I'd rather be doing I get to make the decision to go back to the shadows.

In an interview with Billboard, Lupe shared his support for Iggy Azalea and explained why he has no concern for relevancy.
“I don’t want to be relevant today,” he said. “There is a new generation speaking to a new generation, so you have a Kendrick Lamar and a J. Cole and the other people who are the new Lupes. I don’t have the same lingo. I don’t sip lean or smoke weed. I can’t compete with a Wiz Khalifa for the attention of a 12-year old.
