Lupe Fiasco Primed For Success On “Food & Liquor” With Help From Jay-Z, Mike Shinoda & Kanye West
Chi-town native Lupe Fiasco is getting a helping hand from hip-hop luminaries Jay-Z, Mike Shinoda, Kanye West and others on his debut album entitled “Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor”, which is set for a June 27 release.
Excerpted from Billboard:
Lupe, 24, a practicing Muslim, says the album’s title represents the constant tug of war between good (food) and evil (liquor). “My mixtapes cover a lot of ground, and the album is based on that, but it’s a little more in-depth and lyrical,” the rapper tells Billboard.com. “It’s less of me trying to showcase my skills as an emcee and more about where I come from and really touching on issues I feel are valid.”
The first single is “Kick, Push” will be released shortly to radio outlets and online retailers.
