Lupe Fiasco

In his new single 'I Don't Wanna Care Right Now,' Lupe Fiasco raps, "I'm a rockstar with a band so thorough." In his new video, you see right away that the man means it.

Hip-hop superstars Common, LL Cool J and Lupe Fiasco graced the stage at the Grammy Nominations concert Wednesday night (Nov. 30) for a special tribute of 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

On Thanksgiving Day, Lupe Fiasco dropped a new mixtape called 'Friend of the People: I Fight Evil.' The collection, originally intended to be released in Christmas 2009, is teaser before he releases his fourth album tentatively titled 'Food & Liquor II.'

Powerhouse rappers Rick Ross, Common, LL Cool J and Lupe Fiasco have been selected to join DJ Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five members Melle Mel and Scorpio for a special performance of 'The Message' during the Grammy Nominations Concert, airing live on CBS.

The Grammy Nominations Concert just got a big dose of hip-hop with the news that Ludacris and Lupe Fiasco will be playing live on the show. The rappers join country act Sugarland and previously announced performers Lady Gaga and Jason Aldean on the show.

Lupe Fiasco's latest song, 'Lightwork,' is an electro-hop track built around the Bassnectar remix of Ellie Goulding's 'Lights.'

Lupe Fiasco performed his smash hit 'Words I Never Said' at the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards. Noticeably absent was singer Skylar Grey, whose icy vocals are the yin to Fiasco's yang. Erykah Badu subbed for Grey during the performance and her voice lent a decidedly different element to the song. We liked it!

Patrick Stump has premiered his first video as a solo artist for his single 'This City,' which also features rapper Lupe Fiasco. 'This City' -- which was supposedly filmed in Glendale, Calif. and not Stump's hometown of Chicago -- marks the first single off of Stump's debut solo album, 'Soul Punk,' which is slated for release on Oct. 18.

London's biggest hip-hop export Tinie Tempah will hit the stage alongside fellow rhyme-spitter Lupe Fiasco on his Generation Laser tour next month. The 'Written in the Stars' rapper is on the road this fall in support of his celebrated LP 'Disc-Overy.'

We have heard of shameless self-promotion but in this case, it's shameless selfless promotion, as Lupe Fiasco has "quit" Twitter, handing his Twitter account (and it's 722,000 followers) to rising star, pop soul singer Nikki Jean. For now.
