Lupe Fiasco has been maintaining a rigorous fitness routine, but he is clearly still focused on his lyrical craft. The critically acclaimed rapper recently shared a glimpse of his creative process, unveiling a draft of a new song to tease an upcoming project.
Speaking on the CRS Lupe era, the artist shared what he described as a “sketch recording of a concept” via Instagram. The track, titled “Shrink,” is accompanied by visuals featuring a washing machine and laundry, serving as a clever metaphor for the way garments shrink during a wash cycle—a classic Lupe-style play on words and deeper thematic meaning.
