The instant album of the year:

Lupe ist zurück, und das souveräner denn je. The Cool klingt reifer, lockerer und reissender. Lupes kraftvoller, präziser und glasklarer Flow vermischt tiefgründige, verschlungene Rhymes mit drückenden, pumpenden Beats und lockeren Samples zu einem Meisterstück des modernen Hip Hops.

Mit The Cool führt er vom orientalisch-choralartigen Little Weapon über das düstere, tiefbässigen Dumb It Down über das opusartige üppig-minimalistische Put You On The Game über das soulige, balladengleiche und unglaublich warme Hip-Hop Saved My Life hin zur kongenialen, verspielten Collabo Hi-Definition.
