Lil Wayne Will Drop “Tha Carter IV” The Day Of His Release

Rap superstar Lil Wayne isn’t planning on leaving New York’s Rikers Island quietly. “Weezy’s” Young Money labelmate Mack Maine tells MTV News that Wayne’s highly-anticipated album “Tha Carter Four” will arrive on November 5th, the day he’s scheduled to be released. Mack Maine remarks, quote, “‘Tha Carter Four’ plans we had and still have are to put ‘Tha Carter Four’ out the day he comes out [of prison].” Mack Maine says Cash Money’s Bryan “Baby” Williams and Lil Wayne’s manager — Cortez Bryant — helped him select songs for the album. Mack Maine then called Lil Wayne to get his approval on the songs they chose. Along with a new album, Lil Wayne is also planning to take the stage at Madison Square Garden the night of his release. Mack Maine states, quote, “He’s gonna have a show, then go to the studio,” adding, quote, “We’re gonna party like when Frank came home in ‘King of New York.’ We’re gonna go crazy.”
