American rapper Lupe Fiasco has released nine studio albums, seven mixtapes, seven soundtrack albums, 38 singles (including 10 as a featured artist), and 37 music videos.
Fiasco has made music with a number of hip hop artists including Kanye West ("Touch the Sky"), Snoop Dogg ("Hi-Definition"), Pharrell Williams ("I Gotcha"), Jay-Z ("Pressure"), Double, Joy Denalane and Dan the Automator. He has also made music with musicians outside of the hip hop genre, such as Blake Lewis.
His debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor, was released in 2006. His second album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool was his first album to be given an RIAA certification, being certified Gold in April 2008 and eventually reaching Platinum status in October 2022. Lupe Fiasco's The Cool has also spurred his first top 10 single, "Superstar". The song was also certified platinum by the RIAA. Both of his first two albums have been met with positive feedback, with several critics labeling his debut as a masterpiece. Some critics have also stated Lupe Fiasco's The Cool as an even greater followup.
His third studio album, Lasers, was released on March 8, 2011, and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making it his first number one album on the chart as well as his highest debut sales, with over 200,000 albums sold the first week. Lasers has also been certified Gold. The lead single for the album, "The Show Goes On" has been his most successful single to date, reaching the top 10, and has been certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA two years after "Superstar". Despite the success Lasers was met with mixed reviews from music critics. In 2012 he released his 4th studio album and was promoted by four singles including "Battle Scars" which went platinum by the RIAA. The album was met with positive reviews. In 2015 he released his 5th studio album Tetsuo & Youth after being delayed several times. It debuted at number 14 on the charts and was met with critical acclaim from music critics and was ranked in many year end lists.
