Lupe Fiasco![]() Wassulu Muhammad Jaco born and raised in Chicago, Illinois Lupe Fiasco pronounced LOO-PAY Lupe says his name is a reference to his nickname from Hispanic friends from the "Loo" in Wassulu and the word "Fiasco" from the song Firm Fiasco on The Firm's album. Lupe first became known to the mainstream hip-hop community in 2005 when he appeared on, "Touch The Sky" for Kanye West's sophomore album Late Registration. He has released his debut album, Food & Liquor on Atlantic Records on September 19, 2006 which includes the August 2005 preview track, "Kick, Push". The track showcased his hobbies and interest in skateboarding, along with an ear-pleasing smooth tale of what it is like trying to find an area to peacefully skateboard without interruption. He has released three mixtapes titled, "Fahrenheit 115 Parts 1, 2, & 3," and has been featured on songs with Fort Minor Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park's alias project such as "Spraypaint & Inkpens" featuring Ghostface Killa. Show more » Lupe has previously been on label Epic with his group and then signed a solo deal with Arista Records. His years at Arista only led to the 2003 promo single "Pop Pop" as well as guest appearances on singles from Tha' Rayne 2002's "Kiss Me" and 2003's "Didn't You Know" and K Fox 2003's "This Life", then Arista folded in 2004 and Lupe was signed to Atlantic Records. Rapper and current president of Def Jam Records, Jay-Z was so impressed with Lupe that, even though he couldn't sign him to Def Jam, he decided to executive-produce his album, anyway. Vice president of self-founded 1st & 15th Entertainment, Lupe has a keen business interest. He will no doubt use this, his friendship with Kanye West and other such stars, and his talent on the mic to mount a raid on the mainstream hip-hop charts in future years.
