Phew. I’ve been on an extended (mental) holiday, but now, back to the tracks. Lupe Fiasco broke my heart (and surely millions of doe-eyed children were crestfallen as well), when I learned that his mixtape set to drop on Christmas was canceled. Now who would fill our stockings with cheer? We’d have to wait until the album drops next YEAR?! After about a week of uncontrollably rhyming my laments, a co-sympathizer turned me on to this leaked track, “I’m Beaming”. Suddenly everything was better, I got my fix, and a week later I come to bring it to you. This Neptunes produced track is the perfect sample taste, leaving me just as eager for the rest of the album.
