A few months ago, Fab hinted at a potential summer 2014 release for Loso’s Way 2.

“”Record labels have its processes and stuff so you gotta work with that,” Fab said. “I’m looking towards like a summer release. It’s good — I think people have been waiting but I feel like even I can’t give them something that I don’t feel is right so I always make sure that I’m completely a hundred percent comfortable with the product that I’m putting out before I do. I think this summer will be that time.” (Real Talk NY)

Last year, Fab revealed he would have R&B hitmaker Ryan Leslie and star producer Pharrell Williams contribute to the LP.

“Yeah man, I am tightening it up. I was almost at a final pivotal point of the project in trying to wrap it up, but I bumped into my guy Ryan Leslie, who wasn’t on the project yet, so now we getting in the studio and coming with some stuff. I think everybody knows the chemistry that we have, and the kind of music he makes with that organic New York feel to it, so I really wanted him to be a part of this project. Also Pharrell, he’s got a new hunger again for hip-hop, so he came to me and said ‘yo we gotta get in again,’ so am gonna go check him out as well, and lock it down, and get this project out to the fans.” (The Source)
