Lupe Fiasco

Lupe Fiasco is yearning for the old days of hip-hop on the feel-good track, 'Old School Love' featuring English crooner Ed Sheeran. This is the first single from Fiasco's upcoming album 'Testuo and Youth.'

The song boasts a melodic piano groove and a rollicking beat eerily similar to Kanye West's productions (circa 'College Dropout').

On the tune, the Chicago rhymer gets nostalgic as he reminisces about the early days of hip-hop and quieter times in Chicago, unlike today.

"Give me that late '80s early '90s old school / Feeling like my second album, so 'Cool' / Chi-Raq summer looking so cruel / Look shorty in the eye, told me it was no rules / Went to speak but was like never mind / Let my mind just sneak back to a better time / When I was his age and if he's ever mine," he raps.

Sheeran offers his vocals on the chorus as he sings, "As long as I'm here / As long as you love me Give me that old school love right now."

This is a fantastic song that should help Fiasco garner some major airplay on both urban and pop radio.

In support of his next project, Lupe Fiasco will embark on the Tetsuo and Youth Preview tour, which starts Nov. 2 in Atlanta.
