Atlantic Records announces date
There has been a back and forth between Lupe Fiasco and Atlantic Records recently surrounding his album release. Lupe has made his problems with the label very clear throughout the years.
In preparation for the forthcoming Tetsuo And Youth effort, once again, Atlantic put a hurdle in front of the release:
“ATLANTIC RECORDS won’t release the album until they get a “pop” single…so putting together a mini-project while they find one for me. It’s called “Lost In The Atlantic Ocean” with a bunch of my friends to stay active and happy…this a snippet called “Lilies” feat Sirah produced by The Buchannons…finishing today…”
Atlantic announced earlier that the album will be out January 20, 2015. The album is no longer being held up for ransom, so people can breathe a little easier.
In the meantime, all things are a go for Lupe’s Lost In The Atlantic Ocean EP, which is a project he was blessing fans with to hold them over until the album drops. There is no date for when the EP will be available as of yet, but lookout for that in the coming weeks.
