Samurai (stylized in all caps) is the ninth studio album by American hip hop recording artist Lupe Fiasco, released on June 28, 2024, through 1st & 15th and Thirty Tigers. The production was solely handled by Soundtrakk, who previously produced Drill Music in Zion. The album was supported by the singles "Samurai" and "Cake", with a music video issued for each.

Background[edit]

At his Coachella performance in April 2024, Fiasco announced his latest album would be coming out that summer.[1]

The same day as the release of his lead single and title track, "Samurai," he announced his album will drop on June 28th. He named it to be his "most personal album to date", and was inspired by a quote from one of his favorite artists.[2] The album's second single, "Cake", was released on June 7, 2024.[3]

Track listing[edit]

All lyrics are written by Wasalu Jaco. All tracks are produced by Soundtrakk.
