Description
TOUCH THE SKY - Lupe Fiasco
Obsessed with fresh skateboards and unconcerned about what other emcees are about, Lupe Fiasco is on the leading frontier of hip-hop's progressive new school. Representing Chicago's West Side, the 24-year-old has been hailed a leader of the new generation of conscious rappers unconcerned with guns, gangs and its empty glamorization.
You were likely first introduced to Lupe Fiasco upon hearing Just Blaze's addictive manipulation of Curtis Mayfield's horns from "Move On Up." Asked by Kanye West to anchor "Touch The Sky" (from Ye's multi-platinum Late Registration), the Windy City's premier young rapper has since become one of the most young, buzzworthy emcees in hip-hop. This CD was the official underground prelude to his debut album Food & Liquor, featuring the best freestyles from his First & 15th series of underground compilations and a bunch of new/exclusive freestyles.
With a "peachfuzz buzz, but beard on the verge," Lupe is kicking and pushing his way to the top of hip-hop circles with clever lyrics, a skate-infused hip-hop style and a slew of co-signing hip-hop heavyweights that includes Kanye, Jay-Z, Ghostface, Pharrell and others. With Lupe already locking up deals for his own label (1st & 15th) and his own design/streetwear company (Righteous Kung Fu), the Sky is the limit for Lupe.
