This track packs a punch.
Lupe Fiasco, RZA, Ferg, and Awich joined forces on July 18th to drop “Wax On Wax Off,” and it hits like a roundhouse kick to the chest. With a clear nod to Karate Kid and Cobra Kai, this track is all sharp edges and high energy, full of bars, bravado, and that gritty, cutthroat feel.
From the jump, it sounds like a fight scene unfolding—perfect for the gym, a sparring match, or just hyping yourself up to take on the day. Each artist brings their own flavor to the beat: Lupe stays sharp and cerebral, RZA adds his signature realness in the production, Ferg punches in with wild charisma, and Awich steals the spotlight with a versatile, commanding verse that holds its own among legends.
What makes the track work is how seamlessly these different artists move together. It’s a cypher-like energy, but unified—each artist taking their turn, all part of the same focused force. It’s got replay value and then some.
