Lupe Fiasco - Lightwork
Artist: Lupe Fiasco
Featuring: Ellie Goulding
Producer: Bassnectar
Album: Friend of the People
Label: First&Fifteenth/Atlantic
Even (especially?) if you weren’t feeling Lupe Fiasco‘s foray into pop territory with L.A.S.E.R.S., you’ve got to feel a little amped for the return of “mixtape Lupe” on the forthcoming Friend of the People. Today, we get a taste of the project in the form of Lightwork, a freestyle which finds Fiasco flexing his lyrical muscles over Bassnectar‘s remixed version of Ellie Gould‘s Lights. Watch for Lupe’s latest street album to hit the ‘net this Thanksgiving (aka November 24).
This song first appeared on the

I love Ellie's Lights, and if Lupe plays with lights, you can only be content with the resulted Lightwork.

I like this track a LOT! The intro was sick, the production is tight and Lupe sounds as good as ever. This is BANGER music right now...This goes hard everywhere...

Bassnectar is a sick dubstep producer, and I'm a sucker for Ellie's vocals as always. Lupe just made this remix of a remix even sicker.

I love Lupe but I really don't like the production. I don't see why people think dubstep is so great.

He should've checked out Ced Hughes before making this track. Ced's production was more on point.

Always been a Lupe fan and if he keeps doing whatever he's been doing I always will be. Ellie's voice is a hot touch and Bassnectar always spreading the awesome beats.

When most rappers take an already proven hit and try to put their spin on it they usually destroy it in a not so good way. Lupe just added to Ellie's hit, great work here! Ellie's original was a hit, her Bassnectar remix was a hit, and this is a hit.
