Mercurial MC Lupe Fiasco has premiered the video for “Battle Scars” from his upcoming album Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 (Sept. 25). The inspiring song — which features Australian singer Guy Sebastian on the chorus — is much less ridiculous than that album title suggests. It’s about facing your problems so that you aren’t defined by your “battle scars,” so the bleak video takes place in seemingly war-ravaged buildings and streets. Once the song fades out, text commands the viewer to ”Turn off your computer right now…and go outside and do something to change the world.” Change the world. But first watch the video up top.

Isn’t this actually Guy Sebastian’s single FT Lupe Fiasco?!?!
It is being released by both – Guy in Australia, NZ etc and Lupe in USA and other parts of the world. It was originated as a single for Guy Sebastian’s Armageddon album but have to say each artist’s words and performances make it what it is EPIC! If they are happy to share, why should we care?
