Lupe Fiasco “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)”

Lupe Fiasco just unleashed the killer new music video for “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)” directed by Alexander Nazi. The first set of visuals off Lu’s upcoming album features a bunch of psychedelic shenanigans with the homie and some cartoons. From sporting camo overalls to some fresh bling, Lupe takes us around his way cruising in a Lambo as well as kicking it in the cut, buying a 40 Oz, and rocking some blinding demonic eyes; this video is all over the place but pretty damn ill. It reminds me a lot of The Cool Kid’s “Rush Hour Traffic” video with the mixture of colorful cartoons and actual footage. If this video doesn’t grab your attention, then I don’t know what will. Peep the visuals below for Lupe Fiasco’s “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)” and get amped for Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album to drop September 25th.

Check out the original song “Today” by Tom Scott, that was sampled by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth for “T.R.O.Y.” back in the day, and then once again for this song (Sample starts at 1:38);
