With over two decades of tenure in the rap game, Lupe Fiasco is a savvy hip-hop veteran, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t take the time to hone and perfect his craft at every turn. Now he’s back with his new album, Samurai, which fully displays his cunning and cerebral lyrical talents.
The 8-track album is smooth, yet cerebral, brimming with ideas, but always radiating Lupe’s pure love for the art of emceeing and committing himself as a servant of the rap game. The album was produced in full by longtime collaborator and friend, Soundtrakk (“
“The word ‘samurai’ means to serve,” Lupe says on the album’s title. “My relationship to that word has always meant that you need to be at the service of other people, either in the overall community, or in this instance, the rap community at large that I’ve been a part of for years.”
