Touchin' The Sky ... W/O Kanye !!!

Lupe Fiasco teams up w/ Justin Timberlake & Ethiopian-born Pop singer Kenna will climb Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness about the global water crisis. Kenna speaks on his reasons of volunteering for the event. "My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia, & he had talked to me about digging a well there, & I thought, ‘I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water. Maybe I can help out." If the three artists make it to the summit they will have climbed Africa’s highest peak. The mountain, which is located in Tanzania, is nearly 20,000 feet high. "I’m an adventure junkie,” explained Lupe Fiasco. “Part of the motivation is beating Kenna to the top. Sabotaging his tent, taking the lining out of his coat, lacing it with ants or something like that." The lengthy climb is expected to take place some time during fall later this year. While we're speaking on Mr. Kick, Push ... Lupe Fiasco last month stated to the people (the public, that is) that he would be releasing his third studio album, entitled 'Lasers' later this year.
