Lupe Fiasco has been busy in 2026. The rapper celebrated the 20th anniversary of his Grammy-winning debut album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor, with the “Lupe Fiasco Presents: Food & Liquor 20th Anniversary Tour,” a short run that included sold out shows in New York, L.A., and Lupe’s hometown of Chicago. In June, Lupe released Lupe Fiasco x Nu Deco Ensemble Live From Miami Beach, a one-of-a-kind live album, presenting a pristine recording of Lupe’s performance with Miami’s Nu Deco Ensemble, a hybrid orchestra dedicated to reimagining a fresh vision of what an orchestra can accomplish in the 21st Century. Invigorated by the backing of the 33-person full orchestra, led by conductor Jacomo Bairos, the 9-track set is a scorcher, reaffirming Lupe’s status as one of the most proficient and electrifying live performers in hip-hop today.
