Lupe Fiasco releases Paris, Tokyo his new single on April 14th digitally and 21st physically through Atlantic Records. The single follows his one-off show at north Londons Koko on April 2nd, where he will showcase tracks from his Top 10 sophomore album, Lupe Fiascos The Cool. Earlier this year, Lupe scored a top 10 with the hit single Superstar featuring Matthew Santos. Lupe Fiasco trail-blazed his path to critical acclaim when his Atlantic Records debut, LUPE FIASCOS FOOD & LIQUOR exec-produced by Jay Z, was released. Possessing head-spinning wordplay and a topical range more akin to the underground than the mainstream, the 25-year-old lyricist proved that talent can still make waves in the rap game. His first major look on the scene came on fellow Chi-town native KanYe Wests hit single, Touch The Sky, where Fiasco delivered a show-stopping verse. The buzz gained from that song transitioned the gumshoe rapper into his first official solo single, the skateboard-meets-rap gem Kick Push. Inspired by his own quirky hobby, Fiasco delivered a metaphorical tale of uplift through the eyes of a thrashing, four-small-wheel riding skater boy. His current album, Lupe Fiascos The Cool is inspired by a standout track from the debut, a hustler-turned-zombie epic also called The Cool. This time around, Fiasco introduces three new characters Michael Young History (The Cool before his death), The Game (a male personification of a hustlers damaging influences), and The Streets (a female embodiment of an urban areas corrupt allure). In Hip-Hops popularity contest, Lupe Fiasco is the observer, a thinking man brave enough to dictate the acute thoughts that his peers ignore. Now, that is cool. Lupe Fiasco
