Lupe Fiasco Plans to Revive Child Rebel Soldier Supergroup with Radiohead Beats

Lupe Fiasco is making waves in the music industry once again as he announces plans to revive his supergroup, Child Rebel Soldier, with Kanye West and Pharrell. However, there’s a major twist in store for fans of the trio.

In an interview with Stereogum, Lupe revealed that he wants to bring back CRS as a solo venture, where he will primarily rap over Radiohead beats. He expressed his desire to “reboot” CRS in the next six months to a year, bringing back the original energy of the group.

Despite the challenges of clearing Radiohead samples, Lupe is determined to make it happen. He plans to create beats from Radiohead’s music and pair them with his own lyrics, either releasing them as freestyles or on a proper tape.

Child Rebel Soldier first made waves in 2007 with their single “Us Placers,” which sampled Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke’s “The Eraser.” Despite releasing just a few collaborations as a group, the trio left a lasting impact on the music scene.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from CRS, and Lupe’s recent announcement has reignited excitement for the supergroup. With plans to release new singles and potentially a full-length album, the future looks bright for Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, and Pharrell as they embark on this musical journey once again.
