Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release, the ninth album from rapper Lupe Fiasco. Following 2022's DRILL MUSIC IN ZION, which was fully produced by Soundtrakk, Fiasco and the producer join forces once again for Samurai. Musically, the album finds Lupe delighting in the simple pleasures of assembling assonant syllables into playful and poignant narratives. The eight-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 ("Superstar," "Kick, Push," "HipHop Saved My Life"), their second time linking up on a full album after 2022's Drill Music in Zion and is also the first time Lupe, Trakk, and longtime manager Charles "Chill" Patton were in the studio together since Patton's release from prison in 2023.
