Final Version of UNKLE and Lupe Fiasco Collaboration


The final version of this great track was made available recently on Unkle’s latest EP, The Answer, and my previous review still very much holds true, though the overall feel now has a stronger similarity to The Cool, in so much as having a darkier and lonelier vibe. This certainly brings out a sharper contrast throughout the track, specifically between the verses and the lighter, chillout hook.

Good track, and a nice blend of 4 or 5 genres in this one.

UNKLE and Lupe Fiasco-The Runaway (Radio Rip)


Most Lupe fans should remember the last collaboration from these guys, Hello/Goodbye from The Cool album. That particular track was rather good, and added a nice touch of alternative/rock style to the amazing album.

This track is just a (good quality) radio rip for now, and continues on with the dark, ominous feel that their previous collabo had. There are big helpings of retro stylings in this too, with the hook in particular having a 90s chillout house feel to it. Lupe does a great job with his verses as ever, and I’m a big fan of his work on these atmospheric beats.
