Lil Wayne’s Long-Awaited Album Tha Carter VI Has Dropped With Big-Name Features
Lil Wayne Returns With Tha Carter VI: A Feature-Heavy Album Fans Have Been Waiting For The drought is over—Lil Wayne is officially back.
After a five-year pause from solo releases, the hip-hop icon has unleashed Tha Carter VI, the latest chapter in his legendary series.
Released on Friday, June 6, this new album reminds the world why Tunechi is still one of rap’s GOATs.
A Comeback That Hits Hard
Weezy hasn’t dropped a solo studio album since Funeral in 2020, and Tha Carter VI couldn’t have come at a better time.
The 19-track project is packed with everything fans love about Wayne—his clever wordplay, genre-bending creativity, and unmatched energy. From gritty street anthems to introspective moments, the album shows that Lil Wayne remains a powerhouse in the rap game.
Star-Studded Features
Lil Wayne brings along some serious talent for this project. Tha Carter VI features guest appearances from 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Kodak Black, MGK, BigXthaPlug, Jelly Roll, and more.
But some of the most touching moments come from Wayne’s own family—his sons Kameron Carter and Lil Novi appear on “Rari” and “Mula Komin In,” giving the album a heartfelt edge.
Surprisingly, Drake and Nicki Minaj don’t appear on this one, despite fan speculation—but the lineup more than delivers.
Tracklist Highlights The album opens with “King Carter” and flows through bangers like “Hip-Hop,” “Sharks,” and the introspective “Alone in the Studio With My Gun.”
One of the most unexpected collabs comes with “Maria,” featuring Andrea Bocelli and Wyclef Jean, proving Wayne isn’t afraid to push creative boundaries.
