Lupe Fiasco's new album, Lasers, isn't being released until March 2011, but this new song, Never Forget You featuring John Legend, made its way onto the internet. Lasers is an acronym for "Love Always Shines, Everytime Remember 2 Smile". Apparently this album is complete, but Atlantic Records is not releasing it yet. Posted on the LupE.N.D. Blog, "Lupe said Atlantic wanted him to sign a contract that would give them 25% of anything he makes from shows or deals with other companies like Nike or whatever. He told them no so they threatened him by not pushing any of his new songs on the radio or giving him money to make the videos." But finally Atlantic Records backed down because of a petition put out by fans. The petition acquired 5,000 signatures in one day. On October 8th, Atlantic Records announced Lasers will be released on March 8th, 2011.
