Lil Wayne to Release The Carter IV

New Orleans rapper, Lil Wayne, has confirmed to the media that he is working on a follow up to The Carter III. Set to be released next year after his new mixtape featuring DJ Drama, Dedication III, is released.

The American rapper started the rumors earlier on in the year, when he stated in the remix to ‘A Milli’, that he was working on The Carter 4. It was however only till recently this month when he made it official, writing on his ESPN blog that he was working on his new album as well as a mix tape project with DJ Drama.

Although no dates have been set for The Carter IV, we now have to wait in anticipation. Lil Wayne is the biggest selling artists of 2008, The Carter III sold over a million records in its first week alone. Therefore will The Carter IV be the highest selling record in 2009? Or alternatively is it even possible to sell more than The Carter III?

If you can’t wait for Lil Wayne’s new album, then there other ways to fill your fix. Firstly Dedication III, his new mixtape featuring DJ Drame, is out “real soon”, he says. Alternitively, if your a die hard fan, and want to see him live, then get a couple tickets to his New Orleans gig, October 25th, USA. He will be playing at the Voodoo Music Experience to his home crowd, needless to say it’ll be a party and a half.
