While on tour, Lupe will also perform tracks from his critically acclaimed catalogue, including smash hits "Superstar" ft. Matthew Santos, "The Show Goes On," "Out of My Head" ft. Trey Songz and songs from his latest release Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Part 1. The September 2012 album debuted at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop chart and features tracks such as the much discussed "Bitch Bad," the lyrically electrifying "Lamborghini Angels" and Lupe's platinum selling single "Battle Scars" featuring Guy Sebastian. Critics heralded the album for being one of the most thought provoking and relevant hip-hop albums of the year. USA Today gave the album four out of four stars while the Associated Press proclaimed Lupe "raps masterfully on [Food & Liquor 2]."

Lupe Fiasco, once named GQ Magazine's "Man of the Year" and Rolling Stone Magazine's "Artist to Watch," has been praised since his breakout hit "Kick Push" in 2006 for his philosophical, sharp and dynamic lyrics. His debut album Food & Liquor reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and subsequent album The Cool attained RIAA Gold certification. His next album LASERS debuted as the #1 album in the country and achieved another RIAA Gold certification.
