It is always good news when we get new Lupe Fiasco music and even better news when we learn he has a new album coming as well. Which is what we just got with the release of the legendary Chicago emcee’s new Soundtrakk-produced single, Samurai and the announcement that he will be releasing a new album of the same name in a little over a month and a half. On June 28th.
Lupe also debuting through Vevo alongside the single an accompanying Chris & Blaq-directed video. Which was shot in various parks, underground bridge ways and other parts of Chicago with striking samurai backdrops. As Lu raps his sharp as sword lyrics such as, ”The unamplified fantasize, land of the soon to be fans of the samurai. Smile wide, I got the panorama camera vibe. If you analyze, she’s a one woman gala. Glamorized. Just without the glamor or the gala ties.” That shows once again why he is not only arguably the greatest emcee and lyricist in Chicago Hip-Hop history, but one of the best emcees and lyricist’s in Hip-Hop ever.
