It’s been a while since we’ve heard Lupe in his Food & Liquor form but if this track is any indication of what to expect on Lupe’s forthcoming Food & Liquor 2: Great American Rap Album pt., then I think we “Just Might Be OK”. This snippet of the LP’s lead single shows what we’ve...

Common, No I.D., James Fauntleroy, Steve Wyreman, Kevin Randolph, and Makeba Riddick aka Cocaine 80s dropped this track over the weekend.
