LUPE FIASCO “Samurai Tour”

LUPE FIASCO Live In Concert!
“SAMURAI TOUR”

 

Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is a Chicago-born,
Grammy award-winning American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur, and community
advocate. The independent rapper who parted ways with his former label, Atlantic Records,
following the release of 2015’s Tetsuo & Youth, is pegged as one of the most gifted lyricists and
visionaries to grace the mic. Rising to fame in 2006 following the success of his debut album,
Food & Liquor, Lupe has released six acclaimed studio albums; Drogas Light, released in 2017
on his own label, 1st & 15th. These albums have netted 3 platinum singles, 3 RIAA Gold
Certifications, 12 Grammy nominations and one Grammy Award in 2008 for his infectious
single, “Daydreamin,” feat Jill Scott. With a trilogy of albums set for 2018 and beyond, Lupe is
at his creative peak as an artist. Most recently, Drogas Wave released on September 21st, 2018
via 1st & 15th. His efforts to propagate conscious material helped solidify him as GQ’s Man of the
Year in 2006, and garnered recognition as a Henry Crown Fellow.

While musical genius and ingenuity are at the forefront of Lupe’s achievements, the artist
extends his innovation to projects that aim to foster creative discourse and opportunities in
underprivileged and impoverished communities. As the co-founder and co-owner of
community initiatives such as, We Are M.U.R.A.L, The Neighborhood Start-Up Fund, Society of
Spoken Art, and Studio SV, Lupe Fiasco proves that he is more than just a mouthpiece for
change, but a committed facilitator of intellectual community discourse and outreach.
