Lupe Fiasco is looking to breathe new life into his Child Rebel Soldier (CRS) supergroup with Kanye West and Pharrell, but with a unique twist.

In a recent interview with Stereogum, the Chicago rap legend revealed his plans to "reboot" CRS, this time as a solo venture where he primarily raps over Radiohead beats.
"I'm gonna reboot CRS in the next six months, maybe next year," Lupe announced. "Tyler, [The Creator] has one of the CRS records. But it's gonna go back to the original energy, which was me rapping over Radiohead beats."

Elaborating further, Lupe said,
"It's this weird relationship, because it's kind of like, do I put it out as freestyles because I'll never be able to clear those records? I've always wanted to do an album with [Radiohead's] producer, Nigel Godrich, [so] do I go work with Nigel?"

"I know I'm not gonna be able to work with Radiohead and do an album with them; that shit's pie in the sky. I'll just go back to that original [vibe], just go back and find those dope loops and samples from Radiohead or their solo records, loop the shit up, and make little beats out of it, and crush with some dope ass lyrics," he continued.

Lupe acknowledges the difficulties in aligning schedules and creative visions among the three hip-hop stars.
"It kept getting lost in the sauce and there was a realization that this was not gonna happen," Lupe explained. "People kept putting it on me, and it's like, �Hey, it ain't me.' Pharrell is at Louis Vuitton, Ye is in some fucking factory somewhere pumping out socks."

Despite the challenges, there is hope for fans of CRS. Lupe previously sparked excitement by revealing that unreleased music from CRS exists.
He dropped this bombshell on social media after a fan urged him to share unreleased CRS songs. Lupe revealed that Tyler, The Creator has heard some of these tracks, including "Engine Light" and "Shrink."
While the full-length CRS album with Kanye and Pharrell may remain a dream, Lupe Fiasco's plans to reboot the supergroup with a fresh twist and unreleased tracks offer fans something to look forward to.
Keep an eye out for Lupe's unique Radiohead-infused solo project in the coming months.
