Lupe Drops New Song Promoting “Tickets” for his Just Announced ‘Samurai’ Tour

Lupe Fiasco, who recently dropped a heavy conceptual piece as his latest album, Samurai, has just announced his upcoming tour.

The announcement comes out as part of an exciting rollout, beginning with the release of his latest single, ‘Tickets‘, which has just come out and is available for your listening pleasure below!

The countrywide tour picks up as early as this Fall, beginning with an opening performance in New York City, on October 3rd. With nearly two months of continuous touring, Lupe plans to end the tour with Los Angeles as his final stop on November 24th. And in case you find yourself wondering when Lupe is going to pop up in your city, fret not, we’ve got the dates right here:

The tickets go up for grabs on Friday, July 26th at 10am local time, but in the meantime, you can lose yourself in the want of them by listening to the new Lupe record which, by the way, has not compromised one bit on the raps. Impressive, considering it is primarily a promotional single for the tour. He also promises that he’s got tickets for the low on the track, so it’s definitely something to look forward to; unless you’re a synth-head, in which case, you can also look forward to the wobbly synth bass on the record with a dash of crisp drum breaks that cut perfectly through the mix.

For a deep dive, though, we reccommend diving deep into the experience that is the Samurai album. It is essentially a loose impersonation of singer Amy Winehouse, reimagined as a battle rapper. Why would someone imagine Amy Winehouse as a battle rapper, you ask? Check out the clip below to find out for yourself!
