Biography

Chicago, United States (2005 – present)

Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is a Grammy Award-winning American hip-hop artist and producer. He first became known to the mainstream hip-hop community in 2005 when he appeared on Kanye West’s album Late Registration on the track “Touch the Sky.” In 2006 Lupe released his debut album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor on Atlantic Records, and in December 2007 he released his second full length album, Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool. His next studio album, entitled Lasers, was released on March 8th 2011 after a protest against Atlantic’s decision not to release it.

The Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free) Songfacts reports that Fiasco’s first single off his fourth studio album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 debuted on May 21, 2012. On “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free),” he spits rhymes about aspects of modern American life he doesn’t like such as “Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels, emaciated models, with cocaine and blood pouring out their nostrils” as well as socio-political problems in Ghana and the invasion of Iraq.

Lupe has previously been on label Epic with his group Da Pak and then signed a solo deal with Arista. His years at Arista only led to the 2003 promo single “Pop Pop” as well as guest appearances on singles from Tha’ Rayne (2002’s “Kiss Me” and 2003’s “Didn’t You Know”) and K Fox (2003’s “This Life”), then Arista folded in 2004 and Lupe was signed to Atlantic Records.

    Still haven't grabbed the new stuff but I've loved all of his old stuff so much, so I'm sure the new stuff is great too.

    The difference is that F&L sounded good as well.. Lamborgini Angels?? Weak.. With that said, F&L2 is definitely better than Lasers and Enemy of the State and most other ish I've heard recently.. A good handful of dope tracks.

    whoever thinks Lupe slacked off with Food and Liquor 2 is a idiot! Lamborghini Angels by itself was just as lyrically complex as anything on F&L 1 and I loved that album aswell
