LUPE FIASCO “LUPE FIASCO X NU DECO ENSEMBLE” (LIVE FROM MIAMI BEACH) LP

Lupe Fiasco joins forces with Miami’s acclaimed Nu Deco Ensemble for Live From Miami Beach, a unique live album that reimagines some of the Grammy Award-winning rapper’s most celebrated songs with the power of a full orchestra. Recorded during a special January 17, 2026 performance at the Miami Beach Bandshell, the project brings together Lupe’s intricate lyricism and dynamic delivery with lush, cinematic orchestral arrangements.

 

Backed by Nu Deco Ensemble’s 33-piece orchestra and led by conductor Jacomo Bairos, Lupe delivers fresh live interpretations of fan favorites including “Kick, Push,” “Hip Hop Saved My Life,” “Daydreamin’,” “Paris, Tokyo” and “Superstar.” The performance also reaches into his more recent catalog with “Samurai” and “SOS,” giving the set a balance of classic material and newer work.

 

The orchestral arrangements bring an entirely new dimension to Lupe’s music, combining hip-hop with strings, horns, percussion and sweeping instrumentation while keeping his signature wordplay at the center of the performance. The nine-track set showcases both the musical depth of Lupe’s catalog and Nu Deco Ensemble’s ability to reinterpret contemporary music through a modern orchestral approach.

 

Live From Miami Beach is a standout live document from one of hip-hop’s most gifted lyricists and a unique addition to Lupe Fiasco’s catalog. An essential vinyl release for Lupe fans, hip-hop collectors and listeners looking to experience these songs in a completely different way.
