Carter V (V): Last News

Lil Wayne made his grand return last year with Tha Carter V, and now he’s readying his new album, Funeral. While details about the project are still scarce, a recent interview with XXL sheds some light on what to expect from Wayne’s latest. This includes a collaboration with Lil Baby, which came together during a recent studio session in New York City.

Lil Wayne has confirmed the release date for the long-awaited ‘Tha Carter VI’ in a new advert for Cetaphil.Earlier this week, the New Orleans rap legend took to social media to confirm that he won’t be at the NFL Super Bowl LVIII game in his hometown this weekend, teasing he had something “very special” planned instead. This announcement comes after the controversy surrounding Wayne being overlooked for the halftime show slot, which went to this year’s headliner Kendrick Lamar.Then Lil Wayne – real name Dwayne Carter Jr.

Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Lil Wayne has officially announced his upcoming album “Tha Carter VI,” arriving on June 6. The rapper made waves earlier today when he teased the new project at the end of a Super Bowl ad for Cetaphil.

Lil Wayne will release a new mixtape, titled Tha Fix Before tha VI, on Friday (September 29). The ten-track project will feature the single "Kat Food," plus appearances from Fousheé, Euro, and Grammy winner Jon Batiste.

that’s how to make mo money.Lil Wayne has been around longer enough to now have elder-statesman status at 40. And in honor of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, it’s fitting that a rapper would open this year’s VMAs.But “Uproar” — a relatively minor hit from 2018’s “Tha Carter V” — and the new single “Kat Food” didn’t exactly take us back to the classic Weezy vibeology of “A Milli” (which he did return to perform in the hip-hop finale) and “Lollipop.”Thankfully, Olivia Rodrigo — who, 20 years younger than Wayne, would have made more sense as the opener in 2023 — swooped in to help save the opener in the end with “Vampire” and “Get Back.”Two years ago, Doja Cat hosted and performed at the VMAs back when she seemed a little green to be pulling double duty.

Thania Garcia As expected, Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” sky-rocketed to No. 1 on the albums chart –scoring the biggest opening week numbers of 2023 for any album by units earned and the fifth-largest streaming week ever. The 36-song record, released March 3 via Big Loud/Mercury/Republic Records, opens with the equivalent of 501,000 sales in the U.S. as the largest debut since Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” entered the charts last October with 1.5 million units. Approximately 76% of “One Thing at a Time’s” units come from its massive impact on streaming platforms, according to data by Luminate via Billboard. The super-sized set logged a total of 498.28 million on-demand streams in its first week and became Spotify’s most-streamed country album in a single day by a male artist.

Lil Wayne is working on his next big project!

At long last, Lil Uzi Vert has returned -- and not just with the long-awaited new album Eternal Atake, but with a deluxe edition, Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World 2, that could stand on its own as a fresh full-length from the Philly MC.On this week’s charts, however, it’s Eternal Atake that rules everything around it: Uzi’s album tops the Billboard 200 chart with 288,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

Lil Uzi Vert vaults from No. 28 to No.

Lil Uzi Vert’s long-awaited album, Eternal Atake, arrived on March 6 after years of anticipation, and the release paid off big time. In addition to notching the highest streaming week since Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V in 2018, the album also landed Uzi a trio of Top 10 singles.

Lil Wayne has hinted that the next album in his ‘Tha Carter’ series is finished, and could be set to arrive soon.‘Tha Carter V’ was released in 2018, and earlier this year, the rapper shared new album ‘Funeral’ without any warning.In a new interview with Variety, Wayne discussed his quarantine Apple Music radio show Young Money, which has seen him chat to 50 Cent, Naomi Campbell and more.“It means a lot to [me] to have such a platform, but the unique fact of it is how meaningful it can be for others,” he said.
