Lupe Fiasco has made it clear in the past that he has had issues with his label and now with his Tetsuo And Youth album awaiting it’s release date, Lupe stated that Atlantic Records was delaying the album in search of a pop sounding single.
“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…”
Shortly after Lupe’s comments, Atlantic has finally announced that the album will be releasing on January 20th, 2015. While we all await the release date of the forthcoming LP, Lupe’s Lost In The Atlantic Ocean EP seems to be a go. All though there are no dates yet for the EP, expect to see it before the years end.
