Lupe Fiasco is back with his latest musical project, entitled “Japanese Cartoon”. The punk and rock influenced band is made up of Lupe alias Wasalu Jaco (the name he will be using only for this project), Le Messie from False and a third person. Their first album, “In the Jaws of The Lords of Death”, featuring overall 9 songs, is now available for free from their website. They also offer several merchandising packages, featuring t-shirts, hoodies and more. The artwork for the band is done by Nathan Cabrera, the artist that also does most of the art on all Dr. Romanelli projects. As you can see, Lupe Fiasco managed to bring together a nice group of people for the new endeavor.

Now go check out the album here.

Lupe Fiasco will be curating the Red Box by Goyard at RSVP Gallery in Chicago. Basically the box will get fresh product that he is involved in most of the time on a regular basis. The first installment of the box features t-shirts that Lupe co-designed with punk band Japanese Cartoon. Entitled “Hirstakami In The Dark,” the tee references two major forces in the art world to create a dazzling re-interpretation of the band’s soon-to-be iconic logo.

Take a more detailed look at the Red Box and the t-shirts after the jump.
