On his new album, Samurai, Lupe retreats inward to give fans one of his most personal albums in his deep catalog. “I sometimes get tagged by my fans as not doing personal records,” Lupe says, “but I always tell people there's me in there if you listen closely enough. This album is one of my 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.” The narrative follows a battle rapper through various moments in his career, starting with how they honed their battle rap skills, following their career through different moments. Musically, the new album finds Lupe delighting in the simple pleasures of assembling assonant syllables into playful and poignant narratives. The 8-track album is smooth, yet cerebral, brimming with ideas, but always radiating Lupe’s pure love for the art of emceeing and committing himself as a servant of the rap game. The album was produced in full by longtime collaborator and friend, Soundtrakk (“Superstar,” “Kick, Push,” “HipHop Saved My Life”), their second time linking up on a full album after 2022’s DRILL MUSIC IN ZION, and is also the first time Lupe, Trakk, and longtime manager Charles “Chill” Patton were in the studio together since Patton’s release from prison in 2023. “It felt great to be back in the studio again as a family,” Lupe says. It’s the first time they’d worked together in the studio since Lupe’s seminal album, The Cool in 2005. “The word ‘samurai’ means to serve,” Lupe says on the album’s title. “My relationship to that word has always meant that you need to be at the service of other people, either in the overall community, or in this instance, the rap community at large that I’ve been a part of for years. You have some duty, some purpose to serve. The title alone is very important to me. Before rap even, martial arts was my whole life, and it still plays a huge role in my life. The album is me, but also inspired by a quote I heard from one of my favorite artists. The overall themes of the album speak to the constant fight and the battle one goes through being in the entertainment industry. Some of the things we need to defend.”

Here is my new song & lyric video. Jared, a guy I went to high school with is on the hook. We've talked about doing a song together for nearly 20 years. This song means a lot to me.

I will update this thread with anything and everything related to the album. Fingers crossed it is like Future Sex Love Sounds(greatest pop album of my life time) and not that steaming pile of horse s--- Hillbilly In The Forest or whatever the f--- his last album is called.

Let's f---ing go

This place is going to be busy tonight with the Eminem/Nas collab but while we're here let's discuss the Weekend's new single "Take My Breath" from upcoming album. It's releases at midnight Eastern time tonight. I'll post any and all news here as it comes out and update the thread and title accordingly

I've been a Weeknd fan since 2011 and this s--- sounds CRAZY.

Didn't see a thread for it yet.
First one was actually a great project. Looking forward to it.

The College Dropout turns 17, and Tyler, The Creator’s Yonkers turns 10.

it’s kinda crazy to me that these two releases are only 7 years apart, and we’re now 10 years out from the latter. Like, the 7 years between 2004-2011 to me feel like a lifetime, but from 2011 to now seems like a blink of an eye.

Family Business is still the one to me off CD. I’d rank it 4th in his discography behind MBDTF, Yeezus, and 808s. But it’s the best out of the college trilogy.

It’s also nuts to see Tyler’s progression since Yonkers. And how he managed to turn a viral song into a flourishing career.
