Lil Wayne Unleashes His Long-Awaited ‘Tha Carter V’ Album [STREAM]

The F is for Free.

After seven years of hype, anticipation, and anger for the wait, Lil Wayne has finally unleashed his long-awaited ‘Tha Carter V’ album and fifth installment in his ‘Carter’ series that begun in 2004 with ‘Tha Carter’.

On the 23-track album, Lil Wayne calls on some of the industry’s top acts like Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Snoop Dogg, Ashanti, and the late XXXtentaction for contributions. Weezy’s babymomma Nivea and daughter Reginae are also featured on ‘C5’.

The album was originally supposed to be released in 2014 but was held up after his lengthy legal battle with Birdman and Cash Money Records over unpaid royalties. Earlier this year Birdman freed Wayne from his obligations with Cash Money and struck a multi-million dollar settlement.

‘Tha Carter V’ is Tunechi’s first career album that is released without Cash Money, as it comes via Young Money/Republic Records. Young Money is solely owned by Wayne and will continue to be distributed through Republic Records.

Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter V’ Is Rumored To Be Dropping This Month [PEEP]

We may finally be getting one of the most anticipated albums in Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter V’.

About seven years from the day Weezy dropped ‘Tha Carter IV’, it appears that the follow-up may be dropping later this month. The official Young Money Twitter account tweeted the cover art for the upcoming album, which fueled the release date of September 21.

Floyd Mayweather posted a “V” on his Instagram with the goat emoji and “#21,” which prompted the speculation of the September 21st release date. The post has been deleted by Floyd, but we’ve seen this before, as athletes like Kobe Bryant helped tease and hype for ‘Tha Carter V’ when it was first announced in 2014.

The ongoing legal battle between Wayne and Birdman over royalties has delayed the release of ‘C5’. Back in 2015 Weezy sued Cash Money for $51-million and demanded he be released from his contract. There has been a lot of back-and-forth since then, but in June both Weezy and Baby reach a settlement.

Last month they publicly squashed the beef at Lil Weezyana Fest in New Orleans, where Baby issued an apology saying, “I knew this day was gon’ come, but I didn’t know when it was gon’ come, but this ni**a right here, the best ni**a, the realest ni**a, the illest ni**a. And I wanted to apologize to my ni**a worldwide.”

Lil Wayne Wins Lawsuit Against Birdman & Cash Money + Reaches Settlement [PEEP]

The legal battle between Lil Wayne and Birdman was definitely a 12-round bout that finally ends with Weezy coming out victorious.

According to The Blast, Wayne came to an agreement with Birdman and Universal Records, that he will be free from his Cash Money contract and also reached a hefty settlement of over $10-million in retribution for his work.

With the agreement comes Weezy being freed from Cash Money Records, who he has been with since he broke into the music scene back in 1996. The agreement also allows him to release his long-awaited ‘Tha Carter V’ album, which will be released by Universal.

Back in 2015 Weezy filed his lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money for $51-million to terminate his contract. He accused Birdman of owing him and $8-million advance for ‘Tha Carter V’ plus an extra $2-million upon completion, which is what he ends up settling for.

Although there had been several shots fired between Wayne and Birdman since 2015, the two rappers have been spotted together in the recent months. They’ve been spotted at Miami nightclubs earlier this year. However The Blast reports there is “no relationship” currently between the two, which could mean they might’ve been attempting to reach a settlement outside of court.

Birdman said a few months ago that ‘Tha Carter V’ would be released this year, saying in an interview, “We’ll get that this year, I’m guaranteeing you gon’ get it this year.”

Tunechi’s attorney Ron Sweeney confirmed the agreement with Cash Money Records, but didn’t specify the terms. He did say that Weezy is “happy” and that should be all that matters.

While at Cash Money Wayne released a total of 12 albums beginning with his debut album in 1999, ‘Tha Block Is Hot’. He’s also released a plethora of mixtapes under the label.

Stay tuned for any more updates as they unfold.
