Things Are Picking Up...Finally

OK, so more news.

Firstly, as previously mentioned, Lupe Fiasco is releasing 'Everywhere' from the LupEND trilogy in June. Well, apparently the second disc, 'Nowhere', will arrive sometime later this year too, near Christmas. Nice.

He also addressed CRS, (the collaboration between himself, Pharrell and Kanye, which has thus far spawned only 2 songs) implying that at the moment it's not really on the agenda, but could easily be kicked off again.

Another release date, this time for Lil' Wayne. 'The Carter 3: Rebirth' is coming in April, to be specific April 7th. Not sure whether this is going to be still called TC3: Rebirth, or just Rebirth, but either way it is going to be a 'rock' album with no remakes/same songs as The Carter 3. Apparently, the reason this isn't The Carter 4 is ''cause some people are not gonna like this. We want Carter IV to be what everybody wants it to be."

The first single is called 'Prom Queen' and is certainly different. It's decent, and will probably grow on me. Sceptical about 'Autotune Rock'? It seems to work to be honest, and it's definitely rock, not some half-baked r'n'b effort with a few guitars laced in there. For that reason, I can see this successfully reaching a whole new audience for Wayne.

Another Kanye-related news item: He recently announced plans for a collaborative sneaker range with Louis Vutton. They are due to be released in June, and a few images can be found below:
