7.4 | Pitchfork

By embracing the detuned bass and dope boy cool of state-of-the-art trap, Lupe Fiasco delivers his most subversive album yet

7.3 | Gig Soup

If you’re a die hard Lupe fan that just wants new content to digest, DROGAS Light is a good album that will do, but it won’t wow

Isn't quite memorable, but Lupe's talent shines enough to save it from total obscurity

The Chicago rapper brings mixed results on his sixth album

6.0 | All Music

It at least ends positively with a gospel-imbued number that beams with pride and gratitude. The range in quality here indicates that superior work is in reserve

6.0 | The Guardian

Even amid the mish-mash there are enough moments of quality to remind the listener why this MC deserves to finish his career on his own terms

5.0 | Rolling Stone

Instead, press play on the first eight or so tracks and hear a killer concept EP of hard beats and hard politics for hard times

4.0 | Drowned In Sound

Quite the mess all told. The second part of a trilogy is often the best though, right?

4.0 | Loud And Quiet

The album is a jumbled collection of pop-rap hybrids, which is not necessarily a bad thing when helmed by an artist as charismatic as this

4.0 | The Skinny

In what should have been a return to form for Lupe Fiasco, Drogas Light falls short, instead feeling too rushed and confused to make for any kind of anticipation for the rest of the trilogy that is still to come

4.0 | Spectrum Culture

Outside of the opener, the serviceable beat on “High” and “Jump,” the only reason to pick up DROAGS is southern beast Big K.R.I.T. delivering a ferocious verse on “Tranquillo” that urges the world to “be reborn!”

A new low in a career that already has too many down moments
