About Lil Wayne

Lil’ Wayne, a.k.a. Weezy F. Baby, has always refused to be ignored. At age 11, he was signed to Cash Money Records after repeatedly leaving freestyle voice messages with Bryan “Baby” Williams, a.k.a Birdman. He would go on to form the southern rap supergroup, The Hot Boys, which also featured Juvenile. In 2004, Weezy dropped his 4th solo album, Tha Carter. It sold over one million copies, driven largely by the hit, “Go DJ.” A year later, Tha Carter II was released. Featuring several strong songs including “Fireman”, “Hustler Music”, and “Grown Man”, it debuted at #2 on the Billboard top 200 chart. 2008’s Tha Carter III sold over one million copies in its first week, the first to do so since 50 Cent’s The Massacre in 2005, and included “Lollipop” and “A Milli”, both of which went to #1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart, as well as “Got Money” with T-Pain and “Mrs. Officer” with Bobby Valentino. In 2009, Wayne surprised everyone by debuting his own rock songs, like “Prom Queen” and “Hot Revolver.” As if he’s not busy enough with his own work, Wayne has also worked with almost everyone in the rap hip hop world, including Jay Z, Swizz Beatz, Chamillionaire, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, and Kanye West to name a few. He’s also branched out to pop and R&B, working with Destiny’s Child, Keri Hilson, and Kevin Rudolf.
