Lupe Fiasco joined the vast ranks of artists that utilize listening in for self-promotion. The Chicago rapper tweeted that his upcoming album will be called Lasers, after he said it was titled We Are Lasers . According to one of Fiasco's tweets, " Lasers ...comes from some repressed high school outcast shit...blended amidst 'And He Gets the Girl' ambitions." Fiasco is producing track's this time out and aims to nab guest spots from Bun B and Kid Cudi. Longtime producer Soundtrakk will also handle the production duties. Fiasco announced last year that he was retiring from hip-hop after the follow to 2007’s The Cool drops. As for as pending retirement, the popular rapper confirmed that he’s still pacing on those plans: “yeah I’m still retiring..."
Fiasco was going to release his triple album, LupE.N.D. as his third and last album, but his contract with Atlantic Records stopped him from retiring with this agenda. He postponed LupE.N.D. purposely and intended on releasing an album titled The Great American Rap Album in June of '09. The album was also postponed and he announced a new album was in progress, primary titled We Are Lasers and then changed to Lasers. Lasers is an acronym for "Love Always Shines, Every time Remember two Smile"
