Since Montana left Akon’s Konvict Muzik, he’s been flirting with West and Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group. Montana tweeted a photo with West backstage hinting that he’d signed with him.

Remember when this story 1st broke? Super group (CRS) composed of Kanye, Lupe, & Pharrell were to put out an album, what happened? Well, Lupe talks with AllHipHop and delivers details.
Fans have long awaited the release of CRS (Child Rebel Soldier), a special project from Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell, but the project has not manifested after about four years.
