Matthew Santos w/ Dick Prall and Stolen Silver

Minneapolis native Matthew Santos rose to attention after collaborating with Lupe Fiasco on the rapper's 2007 album The Cool, where he lent his haunting voice to the melodic hooks of songs like “Streets on Fire” and the hit single “Superstar.” After releasing his first solo album, the rootsy folk-minded Matters of the Bittersweet, Santos was signed to Lupe's 1st and 15th Entertainment record label. Since Santos' latest album, This Burning Ship of Fools, dropped last year, he has released a new single, the romping, entreating “Burning Up (Come On Down).”
