Kanye, Pharrell, and Lupe Combine to Make Supergroup CRS. First Album Coming Soon
Ever hear of Child Rebel Soldier or CRS? Well certainly you're familiar with them as individuals, but you may not be aware that Pharrell, Kanye, and Lupe Fiasco have combined to make another hip hop super group. Lupe (The Child), Kanye (The Rebel), and Pharrell (The Soldier) have only released a few singles together and a mixtape but there are talks of a pending studio session that will result in their first collaborative album. Of course Kanye has been busy with a different collaboration with Jay-Z which is currently the most anticipated hip hop album of 2011. But word on the street is that CRS will be in the studio shortly following the conclusion of Kanye and Jigga mans Watch The Throne. The birth of CRS started with the release of the single "Us Placers", which was originally released on Kanye's mixtape Can't Tell Me Nothing. Lupe produced the song with plans of creating an entire mash-up mixtape combining remakes of Thom Yorke's solo album The Eraser and some Radiohead songs. Thom Yorke is the lead singer of Radiohead. Lupe envisioned "Us Placers" featuring verses from Kanye and Mike Skinner, an english emcee. Skinner, for whatever reason, didn't respond to Lupe with much excitement about the idea and Kanye then took it on himself to send the track to Pharrell and Child Rebel Soldier was born. The second song CRS released was "Everyone Nose Remix" which the trio also made a video for. "Now our labels are working it out" Lupe Fiasco tells billboard.com. "Whoever is going to pay, is going to pay a whole hell of a lot. Everyone is excited." CRS was most recently featured on Kanyes album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, on the track "Don't Stop". Were excited to see what can come from the collective mind of these three genius emcees. Below you can check out "Don't Stop" and their first ever video, "Everyone Nose Remix".
