Lupe Fiasco: Kanye West, Pharrell Williams Side-Project Has Uncertain Future

March 9, 2011
Lupe Fiasco: Kanye West, Pharrell Williams Side-Project Has Uncertain FutureLupe Fiasco has said it is unclear whether Child Rebel Solider, his side-project with Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, will ever release a full album.

The trio formed in 2007 but have only so far released two songs, 2007's 'Us Placers' and 'Don't Stop!', which was released last year as part of West's G.O.O.D Friday giveaways.

In an interview Fiasco said Child Rebel Solider's future depended heavily on whether they could schedule time together in the studio.

“We’re all three independent artists, all working,” he said.

“It’s not like we’re dormant, we’re all working, so it’s about finding that moment where we can all get together and sit down, and come up with the songs and the ideas.

“We just haven’t had the opportunity to do that as of late, enough to put out an album - a serious album together - and even if we get to that point, the business of the album coming out is ridiculous because it’s three separate labels, three separate interests and that’s going to be a paperwork nightmare.”

He added: “So there’s elements to it - big hurdles that need to be jumped before we can proceed with it properly and give people what they want, which is an album.”
