Rap Release Dates: Lupe Fiasco, Swollen Members, DJ Khaled, Planet Asia and Gensu Dean

Lupe Fiasco cans a follow-up to "Food & Liquor II," while Swollen Members releases cover art, DJ Khaled suffers from success, while Planet Asia and Gensu Dean bring "Abrasions."

First order of business: there will be no Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 2 coming from Lupe Fiasco. While the album did reach Number 5 on the Billboard charts, the success clearly wasn't enough to drop a sequel. At least not right now. Meanwhile, DJ Khaled does have an album coming. Suffering From Success has been announced, but no date has been set as of yet. There are some dates to report, though. Planet Asia and Gensu Dean will bring Abrasions on February 26th. Then, Swollen Members has announced Beautiful Death Machine coming March 19th. Artwork has also arrived.
