Tha Carter III is the seventh studio album by rapper Lil Wayne. The album will be released on February 12 2008.[1]
Background
The album was named the "#1 most anticipated album of 2007" by XXL, but would be changed to a 2008 release date.[1][2]
Album leak
After most of the album leaked to the Internet in mid-2007, Lil Wayne decided to use the leaked tracks, plus four new tracks and make an album out of them, titled Tha Carter III: The Leak.[1] The Leak will be officially released December 18 2007, with the actual album being delayed until February 12 2008.[1] 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.[3]
Music
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.[4] 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).[5] The Runners have stated that they have produced three tracks for Tha Carter III.[6] Lil Wayne also stated that he has written a track for Eminem, which he has yet to send to him.[7] He described this song as the "craziest".[7]
