Lupe Fiasco Announces Tour to Preview Upcoming Album 'Tetsuo & Youth' [TOUR DATES]

Little is known about Lupe Fiasco's forthcoming album Tetsuo & Youth except that fans won't be able to see a hard copy until 2014. A live audio performance however...that's a different story. Fiasco announced on Thursday that he would be embarking on the "Tetsuo & Youth Preview Tour" in support of the album.

Opening acts remain to be seen, but we do know that at least one star will make an appearance on the album whenever it drops. The rapper debuted a track called "Crack" at a live performance during late August, and told the crowd that it would be the first single off of Tetsuo, and that Chris Brown would be featured. Rumors generated by Twitter conversations between the rapper and other performers suggest that electronica artist Imogen Heap may also make a guest appearance. There are no other details, but many believe the album's title to be a reference to the Japanese cult film "Tetsuo: The Iron Man."
