Lupe Fiasco Reveals 'Food & Liquor 2' Release Date

With a highly discussed single on rotation, the right moment has arrived for Lupe Fiasco to announce the release date for his upcoming new album Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap. Accordingly, the Chicago native will unleash his latest opus on September 25. The project, which will be offered as a double album and will not host any rap features, serves as Lupe’s interpretation of America.

“Politics, society, religion, class, race, food, all across the board. It was only right that we had to have a song that was a collage of that so people got it from the door that all these different things, topics that make up America, that make us Americans, the things that influence us and the things that we influence. You needed that first record to be the embodiment of that whole piece, the whole direction that we’re going in. This record is a collage, but it’s a more like an introduction. As you get into the album, as we release new records, and hopefully we’ll release the album in a few months, you’ll see that we focus on particular issues on particular songs. We will expand on something that may have came up in the second verse of “Freedom Ain’t Free”. There will be a whole song that speaks about this particular relationship in American society, or this particular phenomenon in American society, so people can get a good direction of where the album is going. You get it all in the first joint. But it’s not necessarily angry. The whole record’s not angry. It’s not coming from an angry place, it’s coming from a serious place.”

Stay tuned.
