Lupe Fiasco Drops Samurai
Lupe Fiasco returns with his ninth studio album Samurai. The eight-track offering includes both of the singles “Samurai” and “Cake” the Chicago rapper dropped off in May and June, respectively. Lupe’s been crafting the album since at least 2020 when he revealed he was working on a project inspired by the late Amy Winehouse. The singer used the term to describe the battle rap lyrics she had been writing at the time and inspired Lupe to do the same.
Lil Yachty and James Blake Link for Bad Cameo Project
Lil Yachty and James Blake are linking up for a full-length project called Bad Cameo. Details remain scarce about what fans can expect from the project, and the duo didn’t even release any lead singles to promote it. However, Yachty described the project as ethereal and experimental and said he connected with Blake after the producer listened to Yachty’s psychedelic album Let’s Start Here. While fans don’t know what to expect, Blake has worked with hundreds of rap artists so Lil Boat is in good hands.
