Lupe Fiasco, unquestionably one of hip-hop’s most electrifying MCs and performers, has just unveiled a number of eagerly awaited concerts at some of America’s finest institutions of higher learning, including Yale, Brown, Ohio State and others (see attached itinerary).

Fiasco just won a Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance, and his single “Superstar” is blowing up all over the radio – I would suggest you check him out.
