Lupe Fiasco, born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur. He gained fame in 2006 with his debut album "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor" and is also the frontman of rock band Japanese Cartoon. As CEO of 1st and 15th Entertainment, Fiasco has made a name for himself in the music industry. Raised in Chicago, he initially disliked hip hop but later embraced it after recording songs in his father's basement. With three Grammy nominations under his belt, Fiasco continues to make waves with his thought-provoking lyrics.

In addition to music, Fiasco has ventured into fashion with two clothing lines: Righteous Kung-Fu and Trilly & Truly. He has even designed sneakers for Reebok. Known for his charitable endeavors, he participated in the Summit on the Summit expedition and recorded a benefit single for victims of the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Not only does Fiasco express his anti-establishment views through interviews but also through his music.

With albums like "Lupe Fiasco's The Cool" and "Lasers," which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, Lupe Fiasco continues to captivate audiences with his unique style and socially conscious messages. His latest album "Drogas Light" was released in February 2017.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
