Grammy Award-winning recording artist Lupe Fiasco has signed up as music director for the US Men's National Team ahead of this summer's World Cup, and is to create Spotify playlists and handle in-game music programming during the Send-Off Series.
Artist Futura has also been named art director for the team and will produce its official World Cup poster and limited-edition skate deck designs. As part of the partnership, the team will work to promote Fiasco's new single Mission, released as part of his partnership with Stand Up To Cancer, with proceeds from the sale of some of Futura's works going to the campaign.
