Not even two months since he has been out of prison and six months since the release of his last album and Lil Wayne is back at it. The New Orleans rapper came out of prison focused on regaining his throne. He immediately released his now hit single, "6'7" and his Tha Carter IV album is soon to follow.

Initially, Tha Carter IV was supposed to be released during the early stages of 2009. However, he instead opted to record the experimental Rebirth album. Along the way, he also recorded the album with Young Money and I Am Not a Human Being. Those albums were fillers for Tha Carter IV.

First, the creative process took him away from the record. Then, it was his impending prison sentence and his need to find a quick replacement. But, when he returned from prison, Lil Wayne finally had a minute to himself to breathe and he took advantage of it. The result of his time off will be his long-awaited Tha Carter IV.

So far, the album has collaborations from Rick Ross and Drake. After so many delays, Lil Wayne knows he cannot disappoint fans with a soft album. He is confident this album will easily outshine his 2008 effort and his masterpiece, Tha Carter III. The release of this album will come sometime after the release of Drake's second album, Take Care.
