To be honest, I thought Weezy would come out of jail and match Kanyes weekly single with a weekly mixtape. Maybe hes just enjoying freedom, or maybe hes focused on tha Carter IV, but Wayne took a break for his Super Bowl pick. LONG HAIR DONT CARE CLAY MATTHEWS!
Today Weezy turns 28, even though hes still in jail Young Money is celebrating with this release. Cop it on iTunes
EP drops on Wayne’s birthday (September 27th) followed by Tha Carter IV on the day Weezy is released (November 4th), probably followed by a dozen mixtapes or so once Wayne is free
Directed by Anthony Mandler, they did a pretty good job incorporating Weezy footage shot from before he went to jail, kind of like whats really goin on with Wayne, hes not actually there right now but the dude is still everywhere

No surprises up top, Jay Z and Diddy’s business outside of the game keep them on the list. Soulja Boy’s presence has to piss you off, there are so many extremely talented artists who deserve that cash but that clown stackin chips.

It has been an interesting year in hip-hop with Wayne locked up, and there is no doubt his absence has created a void that no one has fully stepped into. That being said, Wayne still managed to be on pretty much every major project this year and will be dropping I Am Not A Human Being EP virally on September 27th, which is Wayne’s birthday. The free digital release will pave the way for Wayne’s new album, The Carter IV, releasing after Wayne’s freed in November. Wayne does not need the hype most strive for with free releases but this project should have Weezyheads highly anticipating Wayne’s release, in case they weren’t already. Right Above It is the first single off of I Am Not A Human Being, featuring a Drake verse you might recognize from a Westwood interview not to long ago. more to come as CDQ tracks leak.
Illest ashtray of all time, no contest. Sweden.
Two new tracks off the upcoming album, which is looking like it should be real solid.
Skateboard P might be 37 now but that mofos still rockin it in that super fresh BBC jacket like he hasnt aged a day in 15 years. The play two tracks, probably off their new album, which I believe is due out mid June
Second half of the post:
This shit is super upbeat, but Santigold keeps it chill. I dont think this is a finished track, updates to come
UPDATE:
Album is called “Nothing” and drops June 15th. Get ready

One of the 20 or something videos Weezy shot before going to jail for one of the four tracks he made between the leak of No Ceilings and Halloween, the planned release. Classic Weezy footage, motherfuckers life is a music video so why stage shit. Black and white is dope, definitely matches the flow of the track. That tattoo Wayne’s getting on his face is a UV tat, I saw this picture a couple months ago:

Pretty dope, I dont know how often Weezys around blacklights in jail but still legit. Amazing Wayne worked so hard before he went to jail that he’s still releasing more shit than motherfuckers who are free and shit

Yo so I’ve never heard of this guy before but this is a dope mix of Luda and Weezy on that Aussie joint Walking on A Dream. Khalifa set the bar real high on this track but this shit will probably not immediately disappear into the abyss of my iTunes
This track dropped a couple weeks ago right after wayne went to jail but I never got around to posting it. Video should be droppin right quick
I DONT LIKE THE LOOK OF IT!

Clockwork on the mix, pretty crazy shit. Definitely check this out

Weezy is officially in jail, beginning a year without the constant releases of the hardest worker in the game. Photos from Terry Richardson for GQ. Interview was from January, but some pretty interesting shit.
?uestlove’s vocals on that How Low video reminded me of this from Summer 08.
A couple days late on this valentines drop, but fuck it, here you go. First thing I’ve heard from Benzi since Motivation 3, which you should definitely get if you havent already.

One of my favorite brands, Rebel8, apparently made some custom fitteds for Lil’ Wayne at the request of his personal stylist. All black logo. “Young Money” under the brim in a nasty font. Maybe if your stylist calls for you, you could snag your own.
