Produced in full by longtime collaborator Soundtrakk, the 8 song project earned widespread critical acclaim for it\u2019s cerebral lyricism and warm sonic palette. Lupe unveils Samurai DX, offering new Soundtrakk-produced songs from the Samurai sessions, \u201cSOS\u201d and \u201cHigh Note,\u201d plus remixes to original album highlights \u201cSamurai,\u201d \u201cPalaces,\u201d and \u201cBigfoot\u201d (now featuring a hook sung by singer-songwriter Troy Tyler).
