In stand up Lupe Fiasco fashion he has kept his eyes on the horrific violence that plagues his hometown each day, and today he released a track titled "Jonylah Forever". The track is a tribute to the late Jonylah, a 6-month old baby who was killed as her father was changing her diaper in a south side van. Lupe takes this track to many different places, describing the life of a child growing up in Chicago, only to witness the horrific murder that took place. I don't know when people with start to pay attention to what Lupe is doing, but you'd [...]

Late last night Lupe Fiasco took to his Twitter last night to release a new track titled "Light Blue". The DJ SimonSayz produced track will not appear on his upcoming album Tetsuo & Youth. Interesting. Listen below.

After today's run in with Chief Keef on Twitter, which provoked some very personal and  definitive statements from the West side emcee, Lupe dropped off "American Terrorist Pt. II (Superheroes)". Beginning with a blissful piano riff, Lupe takes us to the electronic portion of the album he promised. I don't know how listeners will react to this song, but there's is definitely a reason why he dropped this tonight. "Sympathy is wearing off and dying out, in the face of enemies and crying out" spoke Fiasco, in a song where he invisions a superhero experiencing life in time such [...]

Lupe Fiasco has commented countless times on the discretion of this track, stating "WARNING: If you are easily offended or religiously sensitive DO NOT listen to # LamborghiniAngels it contains very strong subject" . Well he was correct. Check the second single to Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album after the jump. Check for the track on iTunes at 10pm Cst.

"Feel extra great, brand new day, different heart beat, mindset the same way." New Orleans' Goon Gang Ridahz brought out the whole crew for this new Lupe Fiasco assisted record, "Brief Intermission".  At 6-plus minutes, the song is anything but brief, as Lupe Fiasco and GGR take turns over sparse and crunchy trap music before the song ends abruptly and fittingly with "I need some water."  The record is not Lupe Fiasco followed by five-minutes of throwaway bars, GGR do well to show their own skills and hang in there with super lyrical Lu.  Grab the new record [...]

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor 2: Part 1 is scheduled to drop this September.  Last month he released the album's first single, " Freedom Ain't Free" .  He said at that time, that the album's second single would be even a more attention-grabbing record.  I think he's succeeded with "Bitch Bad", the newly released single produced by the Audibles.  Before you think Lupe's gone all auto-tune on us, rest assured that Lupe is sticking to his no dumbing down promise in this record which examines the word "bitch" and those that use it as a false [...]

It's been a while since we've heard Lupe in his Food & Liquor form but if this track is any indication of what to expect on Lupe's forthcoming Food & Liquor 2: Great American Rap Album pt. , then I think we "Just Might Be OK". This snippet of the LP's lead single shows what we've been missing since the execs at Atlantic Records started trying to commercialize one of Chi-town's finest. The track samples a classic in Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth's 922 jam "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" making it apparent that F&L 2 [...]

Woody is working on a full Kanye West remix project right now, placing his own production behind various Kanye West songs and features.  Today we give you the first piece of music in the form of Woody's "Touch The Sky" Remix featuring Lupe Fiasco.  Woody swaps out the large horns with more prominent drums, giving the song a laidback vibe.  Listen and download it below and expect the remix project to drop next month.

Mikkey Halsted has always been a emcee with social responsibility.  I remember when Mikkey came through SoundScape two years ago and played us what he called a very important record featuring Lupe Fiasco.  It was a couple days after Lupe's annual Halloween show, and Mikkey and Lupe recorded together at the Attic while Lupe was still in town.  The song was "Your Gone", a narrative about a young person caught up in gang life, and a victim of gang violence.  The song tells the story from different perspectives, that of the main character, a bystander, and the paramedic faced with [...]

"Call that shit a crash-course." Last week I posted a short trailer for "Vava Voom", the title track from Bassnectar's upcoming LP that features Lupe Fiasco.  The song is available now for purchase, and you can stream it below.  Bassnectar's Vava Voom LP drops April 10th.

Produced by: Nursultan Baigutdinov "Lasers" leftovers. Apparently Loop's been performing this one for a while, but it was a no show on the album.

Source: 1st & 15th and Atlantic The wait is over, "Lasers" has landed, and it's way better than we ever could have imagined. Lupe Fiasco's long awaited third studio album features some of the most top-notch guest features and production quality, all of which we have come to expect from the Chicago-native. Please enjoy.

Produced by: Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis, Syience & Arden Lupe has already announced that this is his favourite track off his upcoming, "Lasers." The Chicago-native's hugely anticipated third studio album is set to drop in less than two weeks.

So over the last few weeks I've experienced a total re-awakening for my love of hip-hop. In high school I went through an intense rap phase when I listened to a clutch of Tupac and Biggie. That gave way to punk rock sometime during 9th grade, and after that the only hip-hop I ever listened to was Wyclef Jean or The Fugees - that is until I inadvertently caught Jurassic 5 at a Warped Tour in Ventura. They rocked my little punk-rock world, and ever since then I've had a fairly clandestine relationship with them and other fringe hip-hop acts [...]

• Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On

One of my favorite R&B artists hooking up to sing the chorus on a single from one of my favorite rappers album means that I am in heaven listening to this track. John Legend provides a soul filled chorus and piano playing that Lupe rips with his story telling rhymes on this laid back song [...]

I'll let Andrew over at FSD break this down for you since I was going to rant and say the same thing. 6 minutes of mayhem from Mr. Fiasco. Over the past few days, seemingly out of the blue, rappers like Soulja Boy and Lil B have come out of the woodwork to address Lupe [...]

Quick, what's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Young Buck? If you're like and guessed crying to 50 Cent, then high five. If somehow you guessed a collaboration with Lupe Fiasco, then you should know this song off of Buck's Back On My Buck Shit: Vol. 2. In all honesty, [...]

This song reminds me a whole lot of "Governmentalist" by Joss Stone with Nas. The strong female vocals over the blues riff at the beginning had me thinking that it was almost a rip off the song directly but after the verses started you can hear the difference. Common and Lupe are two of my [...]

Now that Lupe has managed to slate March 8, 2011 with Atlantic as a release date for Lasers (don't hold your breath though), he decides to give us the first single off the album. Well, the third "first" single but at this point, I don't think even Lupe is keeping track. "The Show Goes On" leans [...]
