Lupe Fiasco On Tour with Big Sean Tinie Tempah and others

Lupe Fiasco is about to head on tour in support of his latest chart-topping album "Lasers". Different artists will open his show such as Big Sean, Girl Talk, Tinie Tempah, Sarah Green and Wale. He will be performing his instant classics "The Show Goes On", "Superstar" and his new single "Out of my Head" featuring Trey Songz.

The catchy club hit broke into the top 10 at urban radio, making it the first of Fiasco’s singles to reach that mark. Additionally the companion video for the track has received over 4.6 million views on YouTube.



“LASERS,” which marks the Chicago MC’s highest selling and chart-ranking debut to date, also includes the RIAA double platinum certified hit single, “The Show Goes On.” The companion video for the track recently received an MTV Video Music Awards nomination for “Best Hip Hop Video.”

An extraordinarily gifted performer, Lupe heralded the release of “LASERS” with a long-sold-out show at New York City’s Webster Hall on Monday, March 7th. Furthermore, he has been touring the country over the past several months including festival performances at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the KahBang Festival in Bangor, ME, the Bass Nector’s Bass Island Festival at Governors Island, NY, and the Sweetlife Festival in Columbia, MD.

Lupe’s third full-length collection, “LASERS” has quickly received a bounty of glowing critical acclaim. Rolling Stone praised Fiasco by placing him “in a tradition that runs from Marley to M.I.A.: the soul rebel who refuses to believe righteous struggle has to be a grind,” going on to applaud “his athletic, whiplash flow and rich imagination.” The Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot praised such “layered, evocative tracks” as “the call-to-activism ‘Words I Never Said,’ the potent daydream ‘All Black Everything,’ the shattering ‘Beautiful Lasers’” for “(blending) wrenching introspection and an undercurrent of anger with beautifully down-tempo music, perched somewhere between melancholy and despair.” Perhaps Entertainment Weekly said it best in its “A-”-graded rave: “Simply put, ‘LASERS’ beams.”
