Yes! Lupe Fiasco's album LASERS is out in stores now!
Last year it hit the web that 'Lasers' had languished in limbo at Atlantic Records with no release date in sight although it's been finished for months. When this information surfaced Fiasco's fans started a petition for Atlantic Records to release his album. After over 32,000 signatures Atlantic Records announced that 'Lasers' would be released March 8th. Lupe went to his twitter and said- 'Victory'
Last month in a Complex interview Lupe said that he hates the album:
“One thing I try to stress about this project is, I love and hate this album. I listen to it and I’ll like some of the songs. But when I think about what it took to actually get the record together … I hate this album.”
Then he continued saying:
“I’m happy for the fans, this is their album. This is the album that they fought for.”
Everytime I go back and read how the album process went I think good and bad. Bad, because how is a record company not going to release someones album when it's finished. Good, because the fans raised their voice and demanded it to be released. It shows that people know amazing talent when they hear it.
Make sure to go cop Lupe's newalbum 'Lasers' in stores now or on iTunes! Show the record labels that Lupe's music is real music!
