Today's feature song is
The Show Goes On by Chicago based rapper/hip-hop artist/producer/CEO
Lupe Fiasco.
Lupe Fiasco has been active out on the rap-pop music scene since 2000 and he was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois USA. He started off by recording songs in his father's basement and then became a member of a group called
Da Pak, which would disband a short time following its inception. A little later on he met rapper/producer
Jay-Z who helped get a record deal with
Atlantic Records. By 2006 he had released his debut album, followed up by a second album in 2007 and charted hits as well. Its amazing how much a person's life can change or not change in the short span of just a year or two, which never ceases to amaze me.
The Show Goes On is the first single release off of his upcoming third studio album titled
LASERS. This single was released in the USA on November 9th, 2010 and it peaked at #57 on the US
Billboard Hot 100, and at #23 on the US
