Lupe Fiasco - Food & Liquor

As we prepare for up-and-coming new releases from many music artists, we decided to give you a little blast from the past on one specific artist.  Lupe Fiasco hit the scene with a bang on September 19th, 2006, when his debut album, "Food & Liquor" went to rank #8 on the Billboard 200.  As many of you have already figured out, Lupe's music and lyrical style is far better than some of the current artists out there in the industry today.  His debut release ended up being nominated for "Best Rap Album" at the 2007 Grammy Awards.  Now not to take anything away from the great Lupe, but without certain people in the Hip-Hop industry, I do not know how popular he would have been today.  Some people who had taken a major part in making Lupe's career are respected names in the music industry, like Kanye West, Jay-Z, Three-6-Mafia, Pharrell Williams, and many more.  If you have never heard of Lupe Fiasco, then I highly suggest you pick up a copy of his debut album and give it a listen.  I really enjoyed this one, and I cannot wait for his upcoming 2007 release entitled, "The Cool."
