Ok, I'm sure that's lots of other stuff out today for #NewMusicFriday but...

#LupeFiasco and MIT released this weird-fascinating thing where Lupe is rapping about different pieces of public art on their campus, as on a walking tour.

Seven songs accompanied by pics of their sculptural inspirations:

It's great so far, Lupe always wins.

MIT Public Art

But since I'm here, I'll note a few other releases this week in this thread.

Most obvious, already being played:

Alex Isley - WHEN (R&B-ish, neo-soul-leaning but more later-era Jill Scott than Badu)

Blu - Forty (hip hop, produced by August Fanon, long list of solid features including Kota and RAP Ferreira)

Word is a #SAULT album ("10") was temporarily showing up on services, then disappeared...

New Sault would have made my day!
