Child Rebel Soldier, or CRS, is a musical group comprised of hip hop artists Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Lupe Fiasco. Their first single, "Us Placers", appeared on Kanye West's mixtape, "Can't Tell Me Nothing" released in May 2007.[1] To date, the members have not decided whether CRS will exist beyond "Us Placers," but they have not dismissed the idea.[2] "Everyone's focused on something else at the moment," Lupe recently explained in an interview with Pitchfork. "[We're trying to find] two or three weeks to sit down and hammer it out."[3] The song "Us Placers" was #43 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[4] According to an interview on sohh.com with Lupe Fiasco, there are plans for a CRS album in late 2008.
