"Mission" is a song by Lupe Fiasco, released as a single on May 19, 2014, for Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C), of which he was the celebrity ambassador for. The song features Chef Tone with additional vocals from Greg Porn and Charlie Wilson. Paris "PJ" Jones has uncredited vocals on it.
A remix version was released, featuring fellow Chicago natives Jennifer Hudson and Common, titled "Remission." Hudson sang the chorus, while Common added a verse about his own father, who battled cancer. The trio performed it live for SU2C's televised special that year, before being aired and digitally released on September 5, 2014.
Fiasco's own grandmother passed away from cancer, where he described it as "very sudden" rather than slow progress. He also had very close friends to him who were affected by the disease, including Professor Ronald "Kwesi" Harris from Chicago State University, who also inspired the track. Back in 2013, Harris and the Black Star Project collaborated for the "Mass Black Male Graduation and Transition to Manhood," where he brought in Fiasco as the keynote speaker. Harris would eventually pass away in 2016 from the disease, where Fiasco paid his respects. Fiasco told MTV News, "His reaction to it was he was gonna fight it, and fight it in a very bold, aggressive, vigorous kind of manner. And it was the first time I had ever seen a close friend of mine battling with cancer." Fiasco also played the record for patients at Chicago's Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center to gauge their reaction. He added, "I didn't want it to come across as a sad, make-you-cry song. I wanted it to be like an uplifting, powerful and almost ratchet."
In a press statement, he said, "'Mission' is a song near to my heart from both personal experience and of those close to me. We are on a mission and hope others will join in our efforts." The track includes narratives from a women with breast cancer, a young child with lymphoma, and a man who discovers his diagnosis in its late stage. It was thought to be the lead single from his upcoming album, Tetsuo & Youth, though was a standalone single instead.
The cover artwork was designed by Hebru Brantley, depicting a young man disappearing "into the air". Brantley also had close ones to him who battled with cancer, including his mother. In the press release, it said, "The art is inspired by people's will to fight cancer head on, with the color black representing the disintegrating disease and blue an...
