Lupe Fiasco Explains Trilly & Truly

illRoots just posted this ill video of Lupe Fiasco explaining his clothing line Trilly & Truly and their spring / summer offering and the themes behind them.

To follow up our profile with Ibn Jasper, we caught up with Lupe Fiasco on set of the recent RSVP Gallery lookbook video shoot for Trilly & Truly’s Basic Info. For the Spring/Summer run of merchandise, Lupe decided to stick with a simplistic theme that focused more around iconic imagery than complex design. A true innovator in both fashion and music, Lupe goes in depth on his clothing line, how he separates the two and what he hopes people will take from it.
If you like the products shown in the above video, be sure to check out Lupe’s Red Box now at RSVP Gallery.

Trilly & Truly – 2010 Basic Info Collection

Lupe Fiasco’s Trilly & Truly clothing line debut it’s new 2010 Basic Info collection through this short 1 minute Vimeo clip.  I don’t have a lot of info on where the line will be sold but I do know that the RSVP Gallery in Chicago will be stocked.

Sign The Release Of The Lasers Album Petition

Lupe Fiasco has publicly stated (through Twitter of course) that he has finished recording his Lasers album and the release is now all in the hands of his record label – Atlantic Records.  It seems Atlantic hasn’t made a sincere effort to push forward the release of the CD so Lupe fans have hit the internet hard and created this online petition asking fans to sign in efforts of Atlantic to take notice and drop the album.  Add your signature here.

To:  Atlantic Records

Dear Atlantic Records,

The fans have been below have been waiting for the release for Lupe Fiasco’s album “Lasers” for over a good year now. Since when it was originally announced finished last summer, there has still yet to be a release date announced. It has even been stated by Lupe Fiasco the artist himself, that the album si in fact completed. Enough is enough, we demand that you stop playing around and give us the album that we have been highly anticipating since the release of The Cool.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Lupe Fiasco Performs 3 New Songs

So right before Lupe Fiasco freestyled for over 9 minutes during his recent NYC show, he performed three new songs from his new album Lasers.  Word around town is that two of the songs he performed are called Scream and State Run Radio.

Lupe Fiasco Freestyles For 9 Minutes

I think it’s safe to say that Lupe Fiasco is one of the greatest lyricists of all time.  I’m not saying he is the greatest lyricist ever, but on any given day he can be rightfully given that title.  It’s true what people say though, he does have to dumb down his shit for most people to catch what he’s saying – me included.  This video was shot from Lupe’s performance at The Fillmore in New York City.
