Samurai is the ninth album by rapper Lupe Fiasco. It is a concept album dedicated to the life, work and career of the late neo-soul singer Amy Winehouse. In Lupe's own words, he shares, "A loving & living portrait to and of one of my favorite artists, Amy Winehouse. I've done many portraits of people I admire over the years. Some public and some private. This one took on a life of its own and became an album. Looking forward to sharing it." Specifically, it was inspired by a quote from the 2015 Amy documentary film, where Winehouse told her producer Salaam Remi, "I keep coming out with battle raps and they're just pouring out of me. Like Wu-Tang stuff, but really neat, very beautifully alliterated little battle raps. So next time you wanna come for me and have a battle rap-off, I'm gonna kill you. Because I'm a samurai." Lupe shared, "For me, it was literally just that one quote. I wouldn't dare try to rewrite or even postscript her legacy in any way other than just imagine everything like, 'Yo, what if she was a battle rapper?'" It began as a single portrait, unintentionally becoming an album." Hear Lupe Fiasco's conceptual album, Samurai, streaming below...
