Lupe Fiasco on Tour

Chicago-born, Grammy Award-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco gained national attention with his 2006 album Food & Liquor, which helped cement a new wave of Chicago rappers in the national conversation. Revisit the album that put Lupe Fiasco on the map, and changed the course of Chicago hip-hop forever.

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.

    Awesome show, Lupe had so much energy and had an awesome set list including: Day dreaming, solar midnight, shining down, and some new tracks from the soon to be released album.

    Lupe was aight

    by BMike on 2009-09-19University Of Manitoba - Winnipeg

    It was too hot in there, and they ran out of beer. He also took a long time (3 hours to come out). The setlist was just OK, but his drummer outperformed him if you ask me.

    Lupe was great!

    by lupefan on 2009-09-19University Of Manitoba - Winnipeg

    The opening act DJ Keish was amazing, Analog was alright too and the sound for both was perfect. Lupe took too long to come out and when he did the music was ridiculously loud..bass and drums they could have turned it down so we could hear Lupe properly. OVerall though a great show.
