left The MC and heavyweight producer, along with Jay-Z and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park are all slated to contribute to Fiasco’s debut album, Food & Liquor, scheduled to hit stores June 27. "It's (Food & Liquor) less of me trying to showcase my skills as an emcee and more about where I come from and really touching on issues I feel are valid," Fiasco told Billboard.com. Fiasco, a Chi-town native that embraces the skating culture and is featured on West’s, “Touch The Sky,” is giving fans a taste of what’s to come with his single, “Kick, Push.”
