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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwisting 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 \u003ci\u003eDrill Music Zion\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis first new album since 2018's \u003ci\u003eDrogas Wave\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDrill Music Zion\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1st and 15th Productions","offers":[{"title":"Blue | LP | x2","offer_id":50431269765451,"sku":"1162975","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50431268618571,"sku":"1162974","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50431269634379,"sku":"1156546","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4e92f7bb-ad9f-46c8-9ce1-94c8d8bf9fe2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726857360"},{"product_id":"drogas-light","title":"Drogas Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eA decade after Lupe Fiasco exploded onto the hip-hop scene with his seminal 2006 debut \u003ci\u003eFood and Liquor\u003c\/i\u003e, the Chicago native is closing the chapter on his career with his most visualised projects yet. The independent rapper, who parted ways with his former label Atlantic Records following the release of 2015’s \u003ci\u003eTetsuo and Youth\u003c\/i\u003e, hits his creative peak with a trilogy of albums - \u003ci\u003eDrogas Light, Drogas and Skulls\u003c\/i\u003e - the final curtain call on one of the most gifted lyricists and visionaries to grace the mic. If anything, \u003ci\u003eDrogas Light\u003c\/i\u003e, the first delivery via 1st and 15th, is a testament to Fiasco’s artistic growth throughout the years. The 14-track LP is free of restraint, and daring by his standards: the sonic and storytelling palettes are vast and diverse, more so than ever before, traipsing genre and style with ease and touting songs to soundtrack everything from a night at the club to a quiet listen on headphones. Where \u003ci\u003eTetsuo and Youth\u003c\/i\u003e leaned into more experimental pastures, \u003ci\u003eDrogas Light\u003c\/i\u003e is the embodiment of a musician whose foray beyond the boundaries of hip-hop feels increasingly natural, a glimpse into the genius that will be Fiasco’s legacy as he inevitably walks away from the spotlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1st and 15th Productions","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50471276937547,"sku":"1004410","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3cfae9c9-8dd1-4317-b657-23bcd713aa34_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727398089"},{"product_id":"samurai-dx-hn","title":"Samurai DX","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspired by the life and work of Amy Winehouse, Lupe Fiasco’s Samurai proved the veteran rapper’s unparalleled ability to pen deeply conceptual rhymes without sacrificing soul.
