Over the span of two decades, Chicago’s very own Lupe Fiasco has given shelter to the lone and curious minds wanting to expand beyond the complacent, complicit, and one-dimensional. Inviting us to interrogate the narrative, his intellectual skill is never at the expense of infectious groove nor immersive storytelling.
Studying martial arts since the age of three, raised by a father who was both a member of the Black Panther Party and a prolific karate instructor, Lupe has always lived at the intersection of Black and East Asian culture. Not only serving in broadening his worldview, this also allowed him to season his art and glean inspiration from the intricacies of Japanese culture, which has bled into many facets of his life. A humble reintroduction, ‘Samurai’ bows to the old school while propelling us forward.
His ninth studio album and first full body of work since 2022’s ‘DRILL MUSIC IN ZION’, ‘Samurai’ is an emphatic display of lyrical mastery.
