Lupe Fiasco Releases New Album ‘Samurai’ — Stream

Samurai is an album that Lupe Fiasco has been working on for years and years and like other Lupe albums over the years (ROY, The Cool 2, CRS, SKULLS etc.), for a while it seemed it might just end up vaulted and never heard by fans and cancelled entirely.

Tonight though, Lupe finally puts it out. For the uninitiated, the album is inspired by Amy Winehouse and specifically a conversation she had with Salaam Remi where she said she was writing battle raps like a samurai. It was part of a documentary of hers years ago and inspired Lupe to make this. Like his last album DRILL MUSIC IN ZION, this one is also produced entirely by his longtime friend and collaborator Soundtrakk.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests
Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.
