Touch the Sky Kanye West Featuring Lupe Fiasco

Welcome to another Thursday as that mean we are closer to the weekend. My playlist this week consisted of a little bit of everything as usual. Until the End of Time by 2Pac, The Coming from Busta Rhymes and a mixtape from the Realest started things. Street Wars 8, Maino and Cam’Rom’s debut, Scarface Deeply Rooted and the Dayton Family was also played. The final album I’ll mention with have my featured Throwback Thursday track. Late Registration from Kanye West is the album and Touch the Sky is the joint. Touch the Sky featured a young lyricist at the time by the name of Lupe Fiasco. The following year Lupe would release his classic debut, Food and Liquor. On Touch the Sky, Fiasco murdered his verse as it gets mad props till this day. Touch the Sky is one of the many classics off of Late Registration.

Last year, the album officially turned 15 years old. Late Registration went on to receive many major accolades. Besides going 4X platinum, it also won several awards in the process. Late Registration is mentioned as one of the best albums of 2005 and of all-time. Jay-Z, Adam Levine, Jamie Foxx, Cam’Ron, Paul Wall, Nas, Common, The Game and Brandy all make appearances. Touch the Sky is a dope track and Late Registration is a great album. Check out the video for Touch the Sky above. Peep the track listing and stream links below.
