Lupe Fiasco x Guy Sebastian Live Video + Interview at Pre-Grammy Events

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Lupe Fiasco and Australian r&b superstar Guy Sebastian have been promoting their collaborative single "Battle Scars," in Los Angeles all week as part of events preceding the 2013 Grammy Awards. They performed the track at the Grammy Foundation's Play it Forward concert. In the video below, the two are joined by a full choir and it concludes with Lupe going in with a poem as well as his verses--a performance rivals the energized appearance backed by The Roots on Jimmy Fallon. We also get a video of the pair being interviewed by Toronto's KISS 92.5 where Lupe discusses his discouraging experiences in Vancouver as well as his wish to have been asked to perform during the Grammy Awards, which he calls "The Pepsi of Award Shows." Check out both clips below.
