Tags and topics realted to this article include Lupe Fiasco. Hip Hop, Rap and New Releases.
Obsessed with fresh skateboards and unconcerned about what other emcees are about, Lupe Fiasco is on the leading frontier of hip-hop's progressive new school. Representing Chicago's West Side, the 24-year-old has been hailed a leader of the new generation of conscious rappers unconcerned with guns, gangs and its empty glamorization.
You were likely first introduced to Lupe Fiasco upon hearing Just Blaze's addictive manipulation of Curtis Mayfield's horns from "Move On Up." Asked by Kanye West to anchor "Touch The Sky" (the 4th single from Ye's multi-platinum Late Registration), the Windy City's premier young rapper has since become one of the most buzzworthy emcees in hip-hop. Originally signed to Atlantic Records in 2004 after negotiations with Def Jam fell though, Lupe is nonetheless slated to release his major label debut alongside executive producer Jay-Z when he drops Food & Liquor later this year.
With a "peachfuzz buzz, but beard on the verge," Lupe is kicking and pushing his way to the top of hip-hop circles with clever lyrics, a skate-infused hip-hop style and a slew of co-signing hip-hop heavyweights that includes Kanye, Jay-Z, Ghostface, Pharrell and others. With Lupe already locking up deals for his own label (1st & 15th) and his own design/streetwear company (Righteous Kung Fu), the Sky is the limit for Lupe.
Lupe The Jedi has linked up with MixUnit.com and DJ E.Nyce to bring you one of the hottest young artist’s mixtapes of 2006 and with one already critically acclaimed version of his debut, Food & Liquor, already leaked to the Internet, this mixtape will have to hold you over until Lupe serves up his rookie release. Mixed with fresh fervor by one of NYC’s top Mixtape pros, DJ E Nyce, it features more than 20 new tracks, freestyles and unreleased tracks; This mixtape is the first step towards Lupe's launch into the hip-hop stratosphere.
