Critical Praise for Samurai:
“Samurai is expected to be one of Fiasco’s most intrinsic works, as he is known for his conceptualized approach in his albums.” – Forbes
“Lupe Fiasco reunites with producer Soundtrakk for a jazzy, subdued album that weighs the challenges and indignities of sustaining a career in the arts.” – Pitchfork
“Lupe paints a sincere masterpiece with Samurai, reminding those that his pen is unparalleled even in a conceptual mood.” – BET
“The Chicago legend’s ninth album is inspired by battle rap and Japanese culture…” – CLASH Magazine
“With meditative focus and sharp craftsmanship, Lupe Fiasco’s Samurai album lives up to its name.” – Okayplayer
Though the album is loosely inspired by the artistry of Amy Winehouse, conceptualized by Lupe as a battle rapper plying her trade in competitions, Lupe has called the album one of his “more personal records to date”: “It’s not a full biography, but my personal experiences are tied up in all of my music. A lot of the records are me. Some are from the POV of a character. and some are me. The album weaves things from my life as an artist, touching on things other artists go through.”
Released in late June, the album earned praise from Pitchfork (7.4), Clash Magazine, BET, Okayplayer, HotNewHipHop, The Needle Drop (8/10), and many other outlets. Lupe and Soundtrakk also sat down with Rolling Stone to give a revealing track-by-track breakdown of the 8-song effort. Samurai is available on all platforms, and at your local record store, via Lupe’s label 1st & 15th.
