Lupe Fiasco has two albums on the way, DROGAS Light and DROGAS​, and the good news is that they're both finished. The bad news is that they're not ready for release due to "red tape," according to Fiasco.

In a stringoftweets this afternoon, Fiasco wrote, "It's a strong chance you wont get any new Lupe albums this year Sorry y'all. I tried 2 make it happen but best laid plans make a mess made. Drogas Light & Drogas are fully recorded & sitting but clearances and mixing issues for Drogas are pushing us beyond realistic deadlines now. So I'll take these L's like a champ and keep it moving. Again so sorry to let you folks down." In response to a fan who seemed to believe the albums aren't finished, Fiasco added, "Gracias...just to clarify tho the albums have been done for months. It's the red tape & details now. The shit I hate..."

This follows his announcement made late last year that 2016 would see the release of three Lupe Fiasco albums. Whatever records ends up coming out next will be the follow-up to 2015's Tetsuo & Youth.
