Child Rebel Soldier, shortened CRS, is the alternative hip-hop side project of American rapper Lupe Fiasco. The project was originally a supergroup composed of Lupe (child), Kanye West (rebel), and Pharrell Williams (soldier).[1] Formed in 2007, the trio released two collaborative singles prior to their original disbandment in 2013.
In 2024, Lupe expressed plans to revive the group as a solo side project, where he would strictly rap over Radiohead samples.[2] He released what would be the first Child Rebel Soldier song in almost fourteen years, "Shrink!" on August 14, 2024 via his YouTube channel, sampling the Radiohead song "Optimistic".[3]
