Lupe Fiasco has taken on the unique challenge of creating an album within 24-hours and is taking fans along for the journey.

On Aug. 9th the Food and Liquor rapper took to Twitter to share with his fans his incredible idea of developing a whole album within 24-hours. In that same tweet, he shared that he made one song and planned to make nine more.

The rapper continued to keep his fans updated as he finished up each track and even dropped some gifs in between to showcase his motivation. He later expressed that he let “the deadline get the best of him” and decided to take a break and finish the second half a day later.

After feeling rejuvenated, the Chicago native came back to Twitter on Aug. 12th with the heat stating that this album will be his “Illmatic.” And as hip-hop heads, we know that this means high standards of Nas’ infamous Illmatic album, which is a classic to many, and fans can’t wait to hear.

Lupe Fiasco has confirmed that the album is done but has yet to announce when we can expect it. Make sure to be on the lookout for the album to see what he developed in a few days!
