1st and 15th Productions 

Lupe Fiasco, born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur. He gained fame in 2006 with his debut album "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor" and is also the frontman of rock band Japanese Cartoon. As CEO of 1st and 15th Entertainment, Fiasco has made a name for himself in the music industry. Raised in Chicago, he initially disliked hip hop but later embraced it after recording songs in his father's basement. With three Grammy nominations under his belt, Fiasco continues to make waves with his thought-provoking lyrics.

In addition to music, Fiasco has ventured into fashion with two clothing lines: Righteous Kung-Fu and Trilly & Truly. He has even designed sneakers for Reebok. Known for his charitable endeavors, he participated in the Summit on the Summit expedition and recorded a benefit single for victims of the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Not only does Fiasco express his anti-establishment views through interviews but also through his music.

With albums like "Lupe Fiasco's The Cool" and "Lasers," which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, Lupe Fiasco continues to captivate audiences with his unique style and socially conscious messages. His latest album "Drogas Light" was released in February 2017.

Back In Stock

Drill Music In Zion is Lupe's eighth studio album. The album was written and recorded entirely within 72 hours and produced by longtime producer Soundtrakk (Kick Push). The album artwork is an original Lupe Fiasco painting.

Twisting and contorting the English language to fit the meter and his every whim, Lupe Fiasco uses his superb lyrical skill to process the changing world in which he lives. Drawing connections between the concrete and spiritual in his hometown of Chicago, Lupe announces Drill Music Zion, his next album. The product of a burst of thoughtful spontaneity, Lupe created the new album over a short period, diving into a folder of beats sent by his longtime producer Soundtrakk and emerging with a fully-realized album in just three days. “Soundtrakk is the swordmaker, I’m the samurai," says Lupe. "He’s the mechanic, and I’m the driver.” Armed with Soundtrakk's soulful sounds, Lupe creates a focused statement that reflects on the past and paves a way forward, preaching strength through mindfulness and self-sustaining community.

His first new album since 2018's Drogas Wave, Drill Music Zion marks the start of another chapter in Lupe's illustrious career. The proud Chicago native has already had a busy 2022, marked with sold out shows, new music, and much more. Lupe recently closed out his "Food &amp; Liquor Tour," a series of performances in which he plays his debut album in full. He paid tribute to his hometown in the reflective, self-produced "100 Chicagos," and dug into the archives to share "Hustlaz," a previously-unreleased song originally recorded before the release of the now-classic debut album Food &amp; Liquor. Beyond music, Lupe continues to focus on the community organizations he founded, including We Are M.U.R.A.L, The Neighborhood Start-Up Fund, Society of Spoken Art, and his cross-cultural content venture, Studio SV.
