Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco will play the Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center on Nov. 5, EMU announced this afternoon.

Tickets, at $25 and $50, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 30. Tickets will be available online at www.emutix.com or by phone at 734-487-2282. The appearance is part of Fiasco's "Generation LASER tour." Chiddy Bang, who is headlining his own show at Hill Auditorium on Oct. 22, is also on the bill with Fiasco.

Earlier this year, Fiasco released his third album, "L.A.S.E.R.S," which was the subject of a petition and protest when Atlantic Records initially delayed the release. The album features the hit "The Show Goes On," as well as "Words I Never Said" and "Out of My Head."

Fiasco's first album, 2006's "Food & Liquor," and its single “Kick Push,” earned him three Grammy nominations. He followed up in 2007 with "The Cool."

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center is located at 799 N. Hewitt Road in Ypsilanti.
