After warming up the crowd on Kanye’s spectacular Glow in the Dark Tour, Garfield Park’s valedictorian Lupe Fiasco takes the spotlight for his own headlining gig. It’s been a busy, successful two years for the rapper, despite some personal tragedy.
Early this week, I spent some time with the artist formerly known as Wasalu Muhammad Jaco. LP3 is a way off, as Lupe looks to focus on developing several debuts for the rest of ‘08 (like the cool-as-hell He Say, She Say) for his Chicago-centric 1st & 15th label.
He excitedly hinted at some more work from his "supergroup" with Kanye and Pharrell, who offered the brilliant, Thom Yorke–sampling video "Us Placers" last year. He’s living in Kankakee these days (no, really) and hopes to write a book about journey from Madison & Albany to downstate Illinois.
Lupe’s coming to the Congress Theatre. Better yet, it’s on Halloween. That way, if you wear your played-out Kanye shutter shades you can just nervously laugh, and act like you’re only in a douchebag costume.
