So we talk for several hours every time we sit down to record and not everything makes it into the episode otherwise they'd be five hours. This is a conversation that we had about our anticipation for Lupe's next album, after he officially announced it was coming soon. With DROGAS Light being his last offering, and the incredible Tetsuo & Youth before it, there is no telling what Wave will sound like.
