Lupe Fiasco x Jennifer Hudson x Common - "Remission" [Official Video]

Lupe Fiasco is joined by Jennifer Hudson and Common in pledging their support for Stand Up To Cancer with a studio visual for "Remission".  The cause is one that Fiasco & Co have fought tirelessly for, even prompting a sort of precursor to this triumphant, organ-laced banger in "Mission," which actually featured personal statements from embattled cancer survivors (including Greg Porn and Uncle Charlie Wilson) in an attempt to humanize the experience and just touch closer to home in general.

The visual also comes as an announcement of the trio of Chicago-born and bred stars taking it to the stage to perform the number live at the Stand Up For Cancer show on September 5th at 8pm on NBC. The single will also be available on iTunes that day, with proceeds going to the campaign. While you may not personally be affected, you've likely got a family member or a few friends that have, so put your good foot forward and cop the track when it hits. In the meantime, stream the conquering sonics of Lupe Fiasco, Jennifer Hudson and Common's "Remission" below and get ready for a star-studded night on 9/5.
