So, “Tha Carter III,” has only been out since May, and Lil Wayne is already in the studio recording the follow-up. According to his blog on ESPN.com, the rapper is currently working hard on “Tha Carter IV” along with a new mixtape for the streets.
The mixtape that will precede the album, “Dedication 3,” will fall under DJ Drama’s “Gangsta Grillz” series and “you can expect [it] real soon,” Wayne says.
Knowing that people admire to his well-recognized creative style, Wayne says immediately after “Dedication 3” comes out, he’ll re-release it “with 20 extra songs for free on my Web site.”
“Tha Carter III” was recorded to be the best-selling album of 2008 (I BEG TO DIFFER). However, according to Nielsen SoundScan the album shifted about 2.5 million copies in the United States.
It also shows that Wayne is also collaborating with T-Pain for a highly anticipated duet album, “T-Wayne,” which is scheduled to premiere sometime in 2009. Very creative. Considering that both artists, in the past year, collaborated with other artists on over 20 singles and remixes combined.
“We’ve got three or four songs we’ve finished,” T-Pain tells Billboard. “They don’t really have titles. We’re just doing music and however it comes out, it comes out.”
T-Pain also claims that the tracks won’t sound like his present Wayne-featured single, “Can’t Believe It,” but will have the collective style shown on tracks like “Got Money.”
However, Wayne will take a break from recording later on this month to perform at the Voodoo Music Experience on Oct. 25 in his hometown, New Orleans, and he is also scheduled to play at Power 105.1’s Powerhouse concert three days later in East Rutherford, N.J. Let’s hope he doesn’t flop like past concerts…
