I feel Lupe’s still fixated on resurrection and changing perceptions, distilling the essence of T&Y and DW into a few songs. We remember Ahmaud Arbery and Peter Gellatly similar to how we were reminded of Jonylah Watkins and Alan Kurdi. Just before we go any further on this path of destruction, he recontextualizes the exploitation in modeling and unhealthy competition for shoes into more positive images of self-respect and unity. Virgil’s contributions are in the same vein, treating something man-made as dangerous at first to suddenly, all good. Even the process of how this all started with LF95, in which Lupe jokingly stole one of Kaelin’s beats on twitter and that soon lead to a whole project together. Said track is one most of us had heard already, but a little fresher with extra bars and an outro. The album cover depicts Phillip Johnson’s Glass House, who lived inside of it for 50+ years after its construction. Maybe this is the alternative to the beginning, repeat the history of Johnson during this pandemic before we repeat the history of the dinosaurs.

There are moments on here that show he can give you the Mural bars if he really wants to, but what’s crazy is he can do the simpler stuff just as well.
