Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., is a highly influential American rapper and songwriter. With an impressive career spanning over two decades, he has become one of the most successful and respected figures in the hip-hop industry.
Known for his unique flow, clever wordplay, and distinctive voice, Lil Wayne has released numerous critically acclaimed albums such as "Tha Carter III" and "Tha Carter IV." His music explores various themes including street life, personal struggles, and success.
Beyond his solo work, Lil Wayne has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music including Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Eminem. He has also founded his own record label called Young Money Entertainment.

Republic is a New York City-based American record label that was founded in 1995 by Avery Lipman and Monte Lipman. Originally an independent label, it was acquired by Universal Music Group (UMG) in 2000. Initially operating as an imprint of The Universal/Motown Records Group, the label underwent a reorganization in 2006 and became known as Universal Republic Records. This merger with Universal Records lasted until 2012 when the label reverted back to its original name. With a rich history and strong ties to UMG, Republic has become a prominent player in the music industry.

The label's roster includes talented artists from various genres who have achieved great success both commercially and critically. Known for their ability to identify and nurture emerging talent, Republic has played a significant role in launching the careers of numerous musicians. Their commitment to artist development and innovative marketing strategies have made them one of the most influential labels in the industry.

Celebrated for their diverse catalog, Republic's releases span across different musical styles including pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, and more. With a reputation for producing high-quality music that resonates with audiences worldwide, they continue to be at the forefront of shaping contemporary popular culture.

Tha Carter V has had a long road to release, most notably due to the feud (and subsequent legal battles) between Weezy and Birdman. Originally slated for a 2015 release, the album was put on hiatus when Weezy sued Cash Money for $51 million in order to get out of his contract. However, he settled that case in June of this year, and patched up things with Birdman at Lil Weezyana Fest in New Orleans, so things are looking up for the latest Carter opus. The long-delayed album captures Wayne how we want to remember him: openhearted, word-drunk, and exhilarated by the possibilities of his own voice.
