“Touch the Sky” was the fourth single released from Kanye West’s 2005 album 'Late Registration,' following “Diamonds from Sierra Leone,” “Gold Digger,” and “Heard ‘Em Say,” and is one of West’s most iconic songs. It’s produced by Just Blaze and features a slowed down horn sample from Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up” plus a stellar feature verse from fellow Chicago MC Lupe Fiasco. The show-stopping verse marked Lupe’s first credit on a studio album and features his trademark lyricism and intricate rhyme scheme.
