Lil Wayne is set to release his new album Tha Carter IV August 29th. In an interview with Billboard Magazine Cortez Bryant talks about the album.
After many push backs, Bryant tells Billboard there will be no more, “August 29, it’s not changing.” “He put the mixtape and the album in my hand the same day. He turned it in to me yesterday,” Bryant tells Billboard. “It’s done for the most part, around thirty songs that I need to carve down to twelve to sixteen, with four or so bonus tracks.” So much for those unofficial track listings floating around, aye? Bryant confirmed Nas, Jadakiss and Tech N9ne will appear on “Tha Carter IV.”
To promote the long-awaited release of “Tha Carter IV,” Lil Wayne is partnering up with MTV. After Lil Wayne performs on MTV’s Video Music Awards on August 28, the fans will be be able to log on to iTunes “immediately after” to purchase the album.
Target stores will carry an exclusive of the album, Bryant tells Billboard. Bryant did not mention whether the exclusive version will include additional tracks and if so, how many.
