LUPE FIASCO FINALLY GETS A RELEASE DATE FOR LASERS!




Lupe Fiasco has officially reconciled with his record label and is set to release his latest album.
As previously reported, Lupe called out Atlantic Records at a concert saying that they were stalling the release of his completed project Lasers.

Before that, a number of Lupe fans planned to protest the company on “Fiasco Friday”, a day where'd they'd gather outside of the label office and demand the album's release.

Now the protest may officially be off since the rapper has met with Atlantic Records executives.

Lupe tweeted a picture to his fans last night of himself and Atlantic Records President, Julie Greenwald with the caption; “Victory.”

Since then a new release date for Lasers has been set, March 8, 2011.

Pick it apart : LiL Wayne-I am not human

Aight with groups like Linkin Park, Fort Minor and the string of artists that do that RAP/ROCK fusion guess LIL WAYNE couldn't help himself..now okay I don't rate him as no big artist, he has one or two tracks that hit me back in the day but dude leave RAP/ROCK alone. Could barely understand what you saying you as is...but aight check it his new joint "I am not Human" another one of his tries in this fusion genre, now to my fellow producers in the house lets pick it apart...what are your thoughts on this joint.

PROBLEMADDICTS- “Reminiscent of the now-defunct Jurassic 5 in their prime” (URB.COM), The Problemaddicts approach Hip Hop with a genre-crossing blend of new school production and old school lyricism. The Massachusetts based six-member crew has played over 200 shows since their 2006 inception and pride themselves on the ability to kickstart any party while also facing the issues of today. The Problemaddicts pushed the boundaries of rap music with their 2008 release The Dark Side of Oz. The 12-track mash-up of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon and The Wizard of Oz soundtrack landed in College Music Journal’s Top 10 Hip Hop charts, winning over a variety of fans in the process. Their follow up, a free downloadable mixtape entitled Burn This Shit , has been showing up across the blogosphere with great reviews as they move towards their untitled 3rd LP, due this fall.
Moke & Tone- Moke & Tone is the combination of Hard Time’s MokeOut, and The Problemaddict’s Producer/ MC, Tone.
