Chicago-based Muslim MC Lupe
Fiasco began rapping in junior high school and joined a
group called Da Pak several years later. The group signed to Epic, released one
single, and split up, all before Fiasco reached the age of 20. Thanks in part to
the vocal support of Jay-Z, L.A.
Reid signed Fiasco as a solo artist to Arista, but before
anything of significance was able to happen (only a promo single and a couple
guest appearances were set up), Reid was fired, leaving the MC without a label.
Fiasco eventually landed at Atlantic. Preceded by the single "Kick, Push," as well as
several mixtapes and an appearance on Kanye
West's "Touch the Sky," the album Food
& Liquor was set to surface during early 2006,
though an unfinished version leaked during the spring, pushing its official
release back to September instead. The album earned Fiasco three Grammy nominations. A highly
conceptualized follow-up, The Cool, was released in December 2007. ~ Andy
