Lupe Fiasco Announces New Album DROGAS Light
After recently declaring his retirement from music, Lupe Fiasco has announced a new album DROGAS Light. On Twitter, Lupe shared the release date—February 10—and what looks like cover art. See the tweet below. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Lupe Fiasco to comment. His last album was 2015’s Tetsuo & Youth.
Last year, Lupe announced plans to release a trilogy of albums in 2016 (including one titled Drogas) which he later retracted, due to “clearance and mixing issues.” He later released a track called “Made in America,” reportedly from an album called Drogas Light slated to be released “at the top of 2017 via 1st & 15th/Thirty Tigers.”
His plans seemed to come to a halt when a lyric in a new song “N.E.R.D.” sparked anti-semitism claims among listeners. After defending the track vigorously on Twitter, Lupe announced his decision to retire from music: “Yo Lupe fans it’s been fun and I hope you’ve had fun,” he wrote, “I’m officially not releasing anymore music. Albums cancelled.” Following his remarks, he briefly set his Twitter to private before engaging in debates with the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
