Chilly Mornin' with Lupe Fiasco

CHAO Radio

On the show this time round is hip-hop extraordinaire and Chicago native Lupe Fiasco. This was an interview that we recorded some months ago during his stay with us at CHAO in Beijing, we were joined by Philipp Grefer, cofounder of Fake Music Media. Throughout the interview, we got the chance to speak to Lupe about his creative process and his influences both musically and from his eccentric upbringing. It was the first interview he had accepted in a long time, and we caught him during his trip around China shooting for his new project ‘Beat n Path’. The project is the first from the new venture Studio SV, a new Los Angeles and Hong Kong-based content development, production and financing company for high-end TV programming - created by Lupe with Bonnie Chan (shout out!) from Hong Kong. Studio SV's first project will be Beat n Path, a docuseries that follows Fiasco as he drops everything to embark on a cross-cultural journey throughout China. The show will track Fiasco as he follows his dual passions for music and martial arts, practicing with Kung Fu Masters throughout the Middle Kingdom while exploring China's fast-emerging hip-hop scene.
