Samurai is the ninth studio album by American rapper Lupe Fiasco. It was released through 1st & 15th Entertainment and Thirty Tigers on June 28, 2024, as a follow-up to his eighth studio album Drill Music in Zion (2022). The album marks his first to contain no guest features, and is his shortest studio album to date, containing eight tracks. Production was handled solely by Soundtrakk, who previously produced the entirety of Drill Music. Samurai was supported by the two singles, "Samurai" and "Cake," with a music video issued for each.
Inspired by Amy Winehouse, who is named as one of his favorite artists, Fiasco created the concept of her becoming a battle rapper. He embarked on the promotional Samurai Tour from October to December 2024. In June 2025, he announced the album's deluxe edition to celebrate its one-year anniversary.
