Lupe Fiasco October 31, 2008

Skateboarding, comic books and Japanese cartoons are not the preferred pastimes of most hip-hop artists. But Lupe Fiasco is different. The Chi-town legend, at 23, has worked with Kanye West ('Touch the Sky'), gotten support from Jay-Z and co-founded his own imprint called 1st and 15th. His debut album is 'Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor.'
