Chi-town emcee Lupe Fiasco will be performing on January 28 in support of current state senate candidate Cherlye Jackson.
Jackson, who heads the Chicago Urban League, announced her candidacy for Illinois Senator last fall after current incumbent Roland Burris declined to finish his full term following a senate appointment scandal.
“I am running to fight for our families and to help our communities all around the state of Illinois prosper, particularly at a time of such tough economic declines,” said Jackson. “The people of Illinois deserve an honest, independent broker and a bold advocate in Congress who is a problem solver and not another politician.”
The performance will take place at The Shrine Chicago. Tickets for the event are $30, and doors open at 8 p.m. All proceeds will be donated to Jackson’s senate campaign. Lupe Fiasco’s third studio album Lasers will be released later this year.
