This summer, Lupe will be featured on Kanye West's much-anticipated upcoming album "Late Registration" due in stores August 30th. West recently told MTV.com "Like I have Lupe Fiasco [on a "Late Registration" track] cause I feel he's one of the best MCs coming out, but nobody knows about him yet. So if I put him on, that's ill. That's keeping it real."

In related news, Lupe Fiasco and his company 1st & 15th have collaborated with world famous sneaker customizer, artist & clothing designer ST0404 and his company Street Connoisseurs to produce some very exclusive kicks. Lupe being an avid sneaker collector himself means this collaboration with ST0404 should be no less than one to pay attention to for sneaker fans and fans of Lupe & ST0404
