    ELLE VARNER – “REFILL” (Video) & “Conversational Lush” (Mixtape) Listen, Watch & DOWNLOAD

    They just started playing the hell out of Elle Varner's "Refill" song on the radio and it seems that the whole world has gravitated towards her. I haven't heard of Elle before this song hit the airwaves and I still have mixed feelings about "Refill". I must say, however, that I like her voice and the flavor of her music. She's bringing more 'soul' to the scene, definitely not that 'autotune pop' crap that I'm tired of hearing. So I did alittle research, and found…

Lupe keeps his lyrics political as usual, making references towards removing Columbus Day off the calendar and how it shouldn't be celebrated. Lupe Fiasco has always been an artistic rapper using music to…
