In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lil Wayne confirmed that his upcoming ‘Tha Carter VI’ will feature guest collaborators including Machine Gun Kelly, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, Wheezy, Wyclef Jean, Elephant Man, his son Kameron Carter and more. The album is set for release on June 6.
Wayne said (per Billboard): “If there’s one thing about this album that’s different, it’s me approaching it like, ‘Man, what would I sound like on something with such and such?’” Wayne also revealed that U2’s Bono will costar on a track titled “These Are the Days,” which also features Wayne’s son, Kameron. Another song on Carter VI will feature the legendary Andrea Bocelli singing “Ave Maria.”
One of his collaborators, Wyclef Jean, also told the outlet what it was like working on the project. “Leaving Wyclef Jean and Lil Wayne in a studio for 24 hours is a dangerous thing. You don’t know what’s going to pop out.” Wyclef and Wayne have recorded around 30 songs together for Carter VI, though the final tracklist has not been confirmed.
Carter VI will mark Weezy’s first album since 2020’s Funeral, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Since then, Wayne has collaborated with artists such as Jack Harlow, DJ Khaled, Drake, DaBaby, Tyler, the Creator, Tyga, Ye and more.
