Some time ago, Lupe Fiasco mentioned in interviews about a “secret project with another superstar rapper and producer”. With the release of Kanye West’s new “Can’t Tell Me Nothin” mixtape, the secret was revealed in the form of a group consisting of Pharell, Kanye, and Lupe called “CRS”.
Originally thought to be including Common, the threesome introduced their first track on West’s new Can’t Tell Me Nothing mixtape, titled “Us Placers”. More work from them is expected in the future.
While in Los Angeles for the 2007 BET awards, Lupe Fiasco opened up to SOHH about his upcoming album, as well as a possible collaborative album.
Lupe revealed that he is hard at work on his second album, which will follow his Grammy nominated debut Food & Liquor, and that he’s looking forward to touring in support of the project.
“Right now I’m working on my next album, called The Cool. It comes out [on] Halloween,” Lupe told SOHH. “I’m excited to get back on the road. We had a real good road experience the past year and a half. I can’t wait to get back out there.”
In addition to his own album, Lupe also confirmed that fans of “Us Placers,” a recent track included on Kanye West’s Can’t Tell Me Nothing mixtape, which features West and Pharrell Williams plus a Thom Yorke sample, may have more music from the trio to look forward to.”It’s a little project that me, Kanye, and Skateboard P sat down and was like, ‘Yo let’s do a group.’ “Us Placers”, was the first record we came out with. Now we sitting down deciding if we really going to go hard or not, but we working on some surprises.”
Whether or not the trio, who have been referred to in media reports as Child Rebel Soldier, will record a full album is still up in the air.
“It depends what it sounds like,” Lupe said. “We gotta make some more records. Everybody is mad busy, Kanye is doing his record, Pharrell’s in the studio, I’m working on my record, so we gonna wait til everything settles down some.”

People say that rap is a dead form. I tend to believe different, I believe it’s just evolving, and staying current. Prime example is what we’ve been doing over here… Check out Kryptik – V.I.P ft. Crooked I. Just google it, I don’t wanna spam a link. against night
