Lil Wayne is finally ready to share his much anticipated Carter IV album with the world. After revamping the project since his release from Rikers Island on weapons charges last November Tunechi has completely finished the project.
This past Thursday we caught up with Wayne in his Miami hometown where he confirmed the news of the August release date that he's sticking to.
"The album is done and it'll be out August 29. It's totally done," Wayne told us.
During our coversation with the superstar MC, Wayne revealed that his single "How To Love" was one of his personal favorite records, inspired by the late great Tupac Shakur.
"That song is just sweeping the world. It's touching every woman, that's what it was for," Wayne said. "It was like Tupac had 'Keep Ya Head Up' and it was a message to women and little girls across the world just to keep your head up even though things are hard. That's what my song was."
According to Wayne he anticipates the single to help some of his females fans discover some of their inner feelings.
"A lot of women don't know how to love because there's deep reasons for them not knowing how to love," he explained. "And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons. A lot of people don't open up that can and I figured that I can open up that can of worms and see what happens."
While the album is about a month out from hitting shelves Weezy is plotting to release the Sorry 4 The Wait mixtape in the mean time to keep his fans happy. RapFix got an early listen to the tape and Tune fans will be overjoyed to hear Weezy spitting over their favorite tracks such as Rick Ross and Meek Millz' obsessive "Tupac Back" and Waka Flocka's "Grove Street Party." The street album is a return for Wayne to his underground following with the lyricist blacking out on some of Hip-Hop's most beloved tracks.
