Lupe Fiasco's fifth solo album, Tetsuo & Youth, has been in the works for almost two years now; he first announced its title at the 2013 Grammys, released what was intended to be the first single ("Crack," featuring Chris Brown) last August, then released the new first single ("Mission") this May. After all this deliberation, though, the album finally has a release date; it's now set for a January 20 release, via Atlantic Records. For his latest track, "Madonna (And Other Mothers In The Hood)" featuring singer Nikki Jean, Fiasco gets political, addressing the struggles of single mothers raising children in the hood. DJ Dahi (the producer behind "Worst Behavior" and "Money Trees") is on the beat, channeling Dark Twisted Fantasy-era Kanye. Stream the track below.
