NewsLupe Fiasco Forecasts 'Cool' For OctoberRapper Lupe Fiasco will hit the studio this week to begin recording his sophomore album, "The Cool." The artist told Billboard.com backstage at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival over the weekend that he is hoping for an Oct. 31 release date for the album via 1st & 15th/Atlantic. Reiterating his desire to round up members of Pink Floyd to make a guest appearance on the project, Fiasco conceded, "Nothing has developed yet. But once the stew gets swirling and people start talking, you never know. I hope it does work out." "The Cool" will be the follow-up to last year's "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor," which earned three Grammy nominations. Between studio sessions, Fiasco will break away for performances at Lollapalooza in Chicago in early August and the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle in early September. He has also recently worked with Japanese rapper Big O on the track "City Wings," a remix of Musiq's "Buddy" and on a track from Atlantic labelmate Kevin Michaels' upcoming debut. There's also a"top secret" project in the works with "another superstar rapper and someone who is a rapper/producer," but Fiasco declined to reveal details, including whether the pairing was for a full album or just a handful of songs. Jay-Z named richest rapper Jay-Z has been named the world's richest rapper. The rap star, whose real name is Shawn Carter, topped Forbes.com's Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, earning an estimated $34 million last year. Jay-Z sold 2 million copies of his 11th studio album 'Kingdom Come', in 2006, and served as president and CEO of Def Jam Recordings. In addition to his music-related endeavours, Jay-Z is part owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team, and endorses Budweiser, General Motors and Hewlett-Packard. 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, came in a close second, netting an estimated $32 million last year. The rapper has sold more than 11 million albums as well as overseeing the G-Unit record and clothing labels. Also making top five on the list (based on last year's earnings alone) were Diddy, Timbaland and Dr. Dre, respectively. |
