Today's Pick Of The Day comes from Chicago MC Lupe Fiasco for his cut "Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]" off of his album Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1. In recent years, Lupe Fiasco has be known as a militant rapper whose opinions on the government and the USA as whole has gotten him in a little trouble. Despite this militant attitude, Lupe spreads his message the best way he can through his music. His skills as an MC are untouched and we can hear in this track. 3 solid verses of Lupe spitting about how messed our country is and can be. Rapped in a way it can be spread throughout the world. That's what Hip Hop is all about. Produced by Simonsayz & B-Sides, contains a full sample of C.L. Smooth & Pete Rock's "They Reminisce Over You" or "T.R.O.Y" as some know it with added drum kicks. If you haven't heard this cut from Lupe or haven't got the message, take a look here at today's Pick Of The Day right above.
