During an interview with Sway In The Morning, Lupe Fiasco hints at an August release date for Tetsuo & Youth. He says the date has been set for about three months.
“The album is coming,” Fiasco says. “It’s not June. It’s not Ramadan. So there’s one month left.”
Ramadan runs from June 28 to July 28 this year, leaving the month of August left in summer.
Lupe Fiasco confirms the features list for the album is slated to include Rick Ross, Big K.R.I.T., Ab-Soul and Chris Brown. Production will come from S1, DJ Dahi, Jake One and J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, among others.
During the interview, the Chicago rapper also says that he is at a point in his music that everything he does has specific purpose. He says he wants his town to be known for more than the “Chi-Raq Freestyle” battle. One song Fiasco mentions in the interview specifically is “Mission,” a cut about fighting cancer.
“It was a reaction to take myself out of being the punching bag for people and then make music that I felt like if I die tomorrow, that I want songs to be like that,” he says. “I want you to remember what I did like that. Lupe put that into the world.”

Rick Ross and Chris Brown? How is that for a conscious rapper?
thats prolly why he did it. to get that exact reaction.
I want to know how Lupe can act all righteous like he is helping all these people with his music yet he has Rick Ross and Chris Brown on his album. Both of these individuals are in it for fortune and fame while Lupe is supposed to be doing it to educate. This is extremely disappointing. If he wasn’t a sell out after Lasers he is one now.
thats prolly why he did it. to get that exact reaction.
hes been a sell out fake, terror embracer, Fukhim
“thats prolly why he did it. to get that exact reaction.”
No he did it cause he’s a fucking hack who can’t stand by what he says. He’s the Conscious Rap version of Game.

why rick gross he dumb
Probably has Ross for the same reason Ab-Soul had him on These Days, such nitpickers
No one cares or want to hear this terrorist loving piece of shit anymore. He lost all validity when he got owned by Bitch ass Oreilly.
I think you was watching a different interview than the rest of us
Hahahhahaha they put his record in the dumping ground for shit they don’t think will sell.
fuck atlantic, they the reason for wack features and they reason for ridiculous date on the album, lupe doesnt have the freedom to do what he wants and now it seems like he wont have that freedom until 2015
Well his shit is clearly more hipster than conscious.
2105
Still probably come out before detox
Damn, don’t know if I’ll be alive at year 2105 🙁
I rather hear Rick Ross’s Hood Billionaire over this shitt
Now that’s just crazy talk
This nigga can’t even walk his own city without being a target! BDN 300 GDK!
Please kill yourself, gangbanging faggot.
Unfortunately he hasn’t been good since “The Cool” album. Not sure if that has anything to do with the direction Atlantic is making him take, or the direction he’s taking. Either way the only way to know is when he leaves Atlantic and puts another project together. Hopefully he can get back to basics and duplicate the success he had with his first two albums.
F&L2 > The Cool
Thats cuz u ain’t listening.. LUPE Still pushes Quality material… And dope lyrical masterpieces… you are blind and quick to hate and b_i_t_c_h about it… Peace ;)..
If you still love his work… give his newer works listen.. 🙂
of course those nerds would listen to lupe
Yeah, people with skill recognise people with skill.
they only helped him because he agreed to put Rick Ross on the record
Skill requires maturity. None of those have one, not bitching Lupe, not Anonymous, this is just some nerds for real.

I hope it does not have a lasers feel because this tracklist is a lot different from what he had been saying.
WHERE IS THE CHRIS BROWN COLLABO AND ED SHEERAN…..INSTEAD U KEEP RECYCLING FEATURES (Nikki Jean)…Lupe i was really looking forward to this album but u disappointed me by lying
i sense a flop because of This
#Street King Immortal
If he comes as hard throughout the album as he did on Deliver, than man this should be something nice, Lupe is in his own zone right now.
Lets be really clear about this one…
THIS is actually a fucking great rap album!
Lupe > Jay Nas easily right now
^^^^^^ Co-sign, album was Phenomenal. Kinda hard for me to see another album this year beating this.
No Lupe isnt better than Nas. lol These white weirdos are crazy. Compare him to wack dudes like Kendrick and J Cole, not to legends. Nas last album shit all over this.
how u comparing rappers who don’t even have albums out “right now”, lol you a weakling
“These white weirdos are crazy” You’re a clown.
all the hooks are pop bitches…. sound like skyler grey
