The self-confessed skateboarding geeks of Hip-Hop Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams have recently announced their plans to release a joint album. The Chicago MC, Lupe Fiasco revealed on his website, stating that he and Pharrell will be recording the joint album...

“Lupe And Pharrell Album Coming Soon” 

The joint album will be far from the first time the two have worked together, with Pharrell both producing [a.k.a. The Neptunes] and featuring in several track off Lupe's first album "Food & Liquor" back in 2006. The pair are close inside and outside music with Pharrell once stating...

"Lupe [Fiasco] is our brother, period. If there was...a fourth member of N.E.R.D., it would probably be Lupe"

Lupe and Pharrell are also two thirds of hip-hop supergroup Child Rebel Soldier (CRS), rounded off by no other than Kanye West. The pair are also a part of the young HipHop supergroup All City Chess Club alongside Asher Roth, Bobby Ray, The Cool Kids, Charles Hamilton, Blu, Diggy Simmons, J. Cole and Wale. With the CRS album (Kanye West, Pharrell, and Lupe Fiasco) being put on a indefinite hold, the announcement had drawn a lot of hype!! Although talking to GQmagazine earlier this month Pharrell stayed quite defensive when the topic of the joint album arose.. “I can’t talk about that. Lupe is my man and whatever we’re talking about we can’t really discuss and get into right now. We’re talking about some very interesting things.” For an idea of what to expect.. Check Lupe's recent track 'Horn Synth' produced again by Pharrell & Chad Hugo a.k.a The Neptune
