Lupe Fiasco reveals artwork for 'Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1'

Never one to conform to the norm, Lupe Fiasco is currently readying the release of his fourth studio album 'Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1', which is set to drop September 25th on WMG. The album artwork on Lupe's 'Food & Liquor 1' was expressive, colourful and forward-thinking, but this time he has gone with something much more simple - in fact, it couldn't be any more simple. Hit the jump to see the artwork, which Soul Culture have quite rightly compared to Prince's 1987 release 'The Black Album'. Pre-order HERE.

No. 20 year old New York-born Kiah Victoria strips everything back and comes through with a stunning piano-driven rework of the Odd Future crooner's debut single. This is beautiful, and available to download on her new EP HERE.
