The discography of American rapper Lupe Fiasco consists of nine studio albums, two compilation albums, two extended plays, ten mixtapes, 36 singles (including 23 as a featured artist), and 16 promotional singles (including two as a featured artist). According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), he has sold 3 million albums and 17 million digital singles units in the United States.[1][2]
Fiasco began his music career in the early 2000s, briefly signing with Epic Records and joining the hip-hop group Da Pak. After their split, he and Charles "Chilly" Patton created the record label, 1st & 15th Entertainment. Around 2002, he signed as a solo artist to Arista Records and started working on his debut album. While nearing completion, where he was doing final album track listings, CEO L.A. Reid was fired, resulting in many artists being dropped from the label. Despite this setback, Jay-Z helped him secure a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 2005, and served as the executive producer on his first album. Fiasco went on to release five more albums with Atlantic.
His debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor (2006), met critical acclaim and achieved commercial success. Despite being leaked two months before its intended release, it sold 81,000 copies in its first week and spent thirteen weeks on the Billboard 200. The album was also nominated for Best Rap Album at the 49th Grammy Awards.[3] His second album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool (2007), surpassed its predecessor with twenty-eight weeks on the Billboard 200 and first-week sales of 143,407 copies. It was certified platinum by the RIAA in 2022 for selling one million copies.
His third album, Lasers (2011), became the first rap album by a male artist in 2011 to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. It sold 204,000 copies in its first week,[4] though received criticism for its heavy radio-friendly direction, diverging from Fiasco's usual artistry. His subsequent albums, Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 (2012) and Tetsuo & Youth (2015), marked his final releases with Atlantic Records. They respectively had first-week sales of 89,778 and 42,000.
In 2017, Drogas Light was released to mixed reviews, where Fiasco forayed into trap music and had sales significantly less than the two previous albums, with 19,702 copies in its first week.[5] The following year, Fiasco released his seventh studio album, Drogas Wave (2018), his longest project yet with twenty-four tracks. It achieved 11,099 album-equivalent units in its first week, with 4,951 in pure sales.[6] Four years later, Drill Music in Zion (2022) was released, rooted sonically in jazz rap. His ninth studio album, Samurai (2024), similarly saw a fusion of jazz rap, inspired by a quote from Amy Winehouse.
In addition to his solo career, Fiasco is the lead vocalist of indie-rock band Japanese Cartoon and half of the EDM duo SNDCLSH. He was also a member of the hip hop supergroup Child Rebel Soldier alongside Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, and co-founded All City Chess Club with Williams.
