Chicago-born, Grammy Award-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco gained national attention with his 2006 album “Food & Liquor,” which helped cement a new wave of Chicago rappers in the national conversation. Revisit the album that put Lupe Fiasco on the map, and changed the course of Chicago hip-hop forever.

On Saturday, July 30, Fiasco performs at The Clubhouse in Wainscott at 10 p.m. Doors open at 9 p.m.

The independent rapper, who parted ways with his former label, Atlantic Records, following the release of 2015’s “Tetsuo & Youth,” is pegged as one of the most gifted lyricists and visionaries to grace the mic. Rising to fame following the success of his debut album, “Food & Liquor,” Lupe has released six acclaimed studio albums; “Drogas Light,” released in 2017 on his own label, 1st & 15th. These albums have netted three platinum singles, three RIAA Gold Certifications, 12 Grammy nominations and one Grammy Award in 2008 for his single, “Daydreamin’” (feat. Jill Scott). With a trilogy of albums from 2018 and beyond, Fiasco is at his creative peak as an artist.

In addition to his musical achievements, the artist extends his innovation to projects that aim to foster creative discourse and opportunities in underprivileged and impoverished communities. As the co-founder and co-owner of community initiatives such as We Are M.U.R.A.L, The Neighborhood Start-Up Fund, Society of Spoken Art, and Studio SV, Lupe Fiasco proves that he is more than just a mouthpiece for change, but a committed facilitator of intellectual community discourse and outreach.

Tickets are $75 ($150 VIP) at clubhousehamptons.com. The Clubhouse is at 174 Daniels Hole Road in Wainscott.
