Samurai is one of Lupe Fiasco’s most personal albums to date, blending introspective storytelling with his signature lyrical precision. Produced entirely by longtime collaborator Soundtrakk, the 8-track project follows the journey of a battle rapper navigating life and career challenges, blurring the lines between fiction and Lupe’s real-life experiences. The album reflects his devotion to the rap craft and the idea of service—both to the art form and his community—drawing inspiration from his deep connection to martial arts and the discipline it instils.
