Freshly signed artists Hey Champ wraps up tour with Lupe Fiasco

Lupe Fiasco's 1st and 15th Records has taken a different turn from most rapper-based record companies. First comes the signing of Matthew Santos, Lupe's reliable hookman, and in October Lupe signed Rockford, Illinois electro group Hey Champ.

Hey Champ's myspace

Lupe has taken them with him on tour for the past few months since their signing, and last night in College Park was their last show. They have an interesting sound and it seems to almost complement the style that Lupe Fiasco brings to mind. After the break, Hey Champ is going to do a few local shows and hopefully work on a complete album under the FnF label.

Good signing for the fledgling label, and hope to see more from these guys soon.
