Lil Wayne Feat. Poppy H, Corey Henry & The Treme Funktet – “Playoff” (Video)
In collaboration with ESPN for their 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship coverage.
Lil Wayne, Birdman & Juvenile – “Ride Dat” (Video)
UPDATE: New visual added above.
Probably one of the biggest reunions this year. Lil Wayne reunites with Birdman and fellow Hot Boy Juvie on the new single “Ride Dat.”
2 Chainz Feat. Lil Wayne & E-40 – “2 Dollar Bill” (Video)
Probably one of the trippiest visuals I’ve seen from 2 Chainz (not so much Weezy though, who could have influenced this). Taken from the critically-acclaimed Rap Or Go To The League.
Lil Wayne – “Uproar” (Video)
Produced by Swizz Beatz and directed by Mills Miller. Honestly, Lil Wayne could have found a much better director for such a dope single. This has the same quality as a 6ix9ine video (not including the one Lyrical Lemonade did).
Lil Wayne – ‘Tha Carter V’ (Stream)
Damn near a decade in the making. The legend returns with the fifth (and presumed, final) album, which sees appearances from XXXTentacion, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and more.
Hot Boy Turk Feat. Lil Wayne & Kodak Black – F*** How It Turn Out (Remix)
Lil Wayne and Kodak Black are recently on good turns now…hello Hot Boy Turk recruits his former group mate and the Florida star for a remix of “F*** How It Turn Out”.
Lil Wayne – Dedication 6 (Stream)
Despite all legal issues, Lil Wayne still continues forward with dope bars for his fans. Below lies Dedication 6, which sees appearances from Nicki Minaj, Gudda Gudda, Zoey Dollaz, Euro, Cory Gunz and HoodyBaby. Stream below.
Gucci Mane Feat. Drake & Lil’ Wayne – Both (Remix)
Something extra to hold Gucci fans over until the arrive of Drop Top Wizop.
Khalid Feat. Lil Wayne & Kehlani – Location (Remix)
Khalid’s ‘Location’ gets a big remix courtesy of Lil Wayne and Kehlani. Expect to hear a lot more from this artist soon (if you haven’t already, check out American Teen here).
Raekwon Feat. Lil Wayne – My Corner
For 25 years, Raekwon has been one of the most sought out voices in music; a true originator of lyricism, street fashion and inventive music. On 3-24-2017 the legendary emcee will release his seventh solo album The Wild. Released through his own IceH20 imprint along with EMPIRE, the album is a stark commentary on both the world and the music industry–everything is wild, Rae notes, alluding to his new album’s symbolic title.
With so much uncertainty in the world, it’s never been more apparent that this jungle needs order; and as the apex predator within hip-hop’s jungle, Raekwon plans to restore order with The Wild.
Today, via an exclusive premiere with Rolling Stone, Raekwon releases the second single from The Wild, “My Corner,” which features Lil Wayne.
“Wayne is a charismatic individual and his flows are dumb delightful” Raekwon commented to Rolling Stone. “I studied him way back and appreciated the opportunity to trade bars with him. I always heard his voice on this and I was very pleased hearing him tap dance on a different style of production. “My Corner” is a flashback to them good ole terrible blocks and we take you back to all black outfits. This record must be played at high volume.”

After performing this on ESPN, Wale and Lil Wayne’s new collaboration ‘Running Back’ is now available for streaming. You can also pick up the single via iTunes.
Wale Performs ‘Running Back’ With Lil Wayne On ESPN; Releases Phil Ade-Assisted ‘Smile’ (UPDATE)
UPDATE: On ‘Smile’, Wale had a message for racist commentator Tomi Lahren (no, we don’t give a sh*t was Charlamagne Tha God thinks)…since then, Lahren has responded. You can see that exchange (which is a bit childish) below the clips.
Wale is on a tear this week (as he has been since he responded to J. Cole). Following a dope New Year’s performance at The Fillmore, the D.C. frontrunner appeared on ESPN’s First Take with collaborator Lil Wayne to perform a new track titled ‘Running Back’. Adding to that, he also liberated another new track titled ‘Smile’, which features Phil Ade. Presumably, both cuts will appear on the forthcoming album S.H.I.N.E. (Still Here Ignoring Negative Energy). Check ’em out below.
So if you're gonna put someone in a song…diss 'em.. perhaps get their fricken name right next time @Wale

Lil Wayne’s Bus Driver Sues Everybody Over Shooting
From Courthouse News:
Lil Wayne’s former tour bus driver claims in court that he was caught in the crosshairs of a feud when the rapper’s buses were shot by another hip-hop artist.
Alvin Lewis filed a lawsuit in Cobb County State Court on Nov. 16 against rappers Peewee Roscoe, Young Thug and Birdman, as well as Cash Money Records and Young Money Records.
Before the shooting last year, nonparty Lil Wayne performed at the Compound night club in Atlanta. According to the complaint, a confrontation arose between Roscoe’s crew and Lil Wayne’s crew, with Roscoe allegedly saying, “This is my city, keep fucking around and I’ll spray the bus.”
Atlanta police escorted the buses until they left Fulton County, after which Roscoe pursued in his white Chevrolet Camaro and fired multiple shots into the buses, Lewis claims.
“When the white Camaro pulled beside the buses, gunshots were fired at the 12 individuals in the buses, from the white Camaro with a .40 caliber handgun and a 9mm handgun,” the complaint states.
Roscoe, whose real name is Jimmy Carlton Winfrey, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting at the buses on Interstate 285 near Interstate 75.
Before and after the shooting, Roscoe allegedly placed calls to Young Thug and Birdman, whose real names are Jeffery Lamar Williams and Bryan Williams, respectively. Lewis claims neither of them “repudiated Winfrey’s heinous acts.”
Nobody was injured, but the April 26, 2015, shooting caused more than $20,000 in damages to the buses, according to Lewis’ complaint, which says the shooting was gang-related.
Lewis says he “has suffered and continues to suffer substantial and continuing pain, anguish, suffering, discomfort, medical expenses, lost personal and professional property, and lost wages.”
“Defendants placed plaintiff in immediate fear of death and severe bodily harm by attacking and attempting to kill him without any just provocation or cause,” the complaint states.
Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, was a passenger on one of the buses.
Lewis seeks an unspecified amount of damages for claims of assault and battery, interference with a business relationship and infliction of emotional distress. He is represented by New York City-based attorney Jeffrey Gewirtz.
Representatives for Cash Money Records and Young Money records could not be reached for comment Tuesday morning.
