DROGAS WAVE by Lupe Fiasco - DeepRiffs

ALBUM Explicit

The 100-minute sequel to the hourlong 2017 release Drogas Light, Drogas Wave is more conceptual than what preceded it. A portion of the album concerns a fantasy scenario in which Africans jumped slave ships in transit, adapted to living underwater (Drexciya style), and freed their brothers and sisters by sinking other ships. The rapper illustrates what-if scenarios regarding recent real-life tragedies: a Syrian boy who drowned as his family sought refuge in Greece, and a six-month-old girl murdered in Chicago. There's enough room for Fiasco to reflect upon his own life, as on "Imagine," where he puts an inspirational spin on his tumultuous major-label deal while thanking his listeners for seeing him through it.
