“Tetsuo & Youth”este cel de-al 5-lea album al lui Lupe Fiasco și a fost lansat în data de 20 ianuarie 2015 prin Atlantic Records, 1st & 15th Entertainment.
On February 10, 2013, on the red carpet for the Grammy Awards, Lupe announced his 5th studio album would be titled Tetsuo & Youth. LupEND (blog for Lupe Fiasco fans) confirmed on his Tumblr account that features on his album would include Rick Ross, Big K.R.I.T., Chance the Rapper, Ab-Soul, Ed Sheeran, and Ty Dolla Sign among many others.[2]
Fiasco said in an interview with Rolling Stone on October 25 that Tetsuo & Youth's lyrical content was partially inspired by his upbringing in Chicago's crime-ridden Westside: "The content of it is like, 'Oh, shit, I didn't know Lupe could talk like that. I didn't know Lupe knew that guy. I didn't know Lupe was affiliated with that.'" In the same interview, Lupe cleared up rumors and stated that he did not name his album after Japanese manga series Akira character Tetsuo Shima. However, Lupe does admit to being loosely inspired by the biker-gang member. "For me, Tetsuo sounds cool" he stated
