Tha Carter III is the sixth studio album by rapper Lil Wayne. The album will be released on December 18 2007.[1]
Background
Lil Wayne stated in XXL magazine that producers will include Kanye West, Scott Storch, The Runners, Timbaland, and will.i.am. Lil Wayne also stated that he will be working with former Cash Money Records producer Mannie Fresh.[2] Scratch magazine confirmed that Dr. Dre will also be working on the album. In an interview with HipHopCanada.com, Solitair of the Black Jays stated that he and Cipha Sounds produced a track for Lil Wayne's "new project" (possibly referring to Tha Carter III).[3] The Runners have stated that they have produced three tracks for Tha Carter III.[4]
Collaborators include Birdman, Enrique Iglesias, Lil Lee, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, The Game, and more.[5]
The album was named the "#1 most anticipated album of 2007" by XXL.[6]
After the album leaked to the Internet in mid-2007, Lil Wayne decided to use the leaked tracks and made a mixtape out of them, titled The Leak. When questioned about the unplanned album leak, Lil Wayne said:
We have to find out exactly what's out there. I'll probably just [collect] all the songs that's floating around and make my own mixtape called "The Leak" since people want the music so bad. To tell you the truth though, there's a song I did with Kanye West out there—of course you want to save that for your album, but the rest of them songs probably wouldn't have made the album. There's a song floating around that says ‘produced by Timbaland’; Tim didn't produce that record though.[7]
MTV reported that Wyclef Jean worked on a couple of tracks for the album. MTV also reported that a track featuring Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and Timbaland is likely to appear on the album.[7]
HipHopDX.com reported that the track "Gossip" will be included on the album and is indirectly aimed at 50 Cent, but actually has no relativity to 50 Cent at all. The song was due to be released between August and September 2007, however Lil Wayne premiered the song at the 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards.[8]
