With Tha Carter IV coming out in a little over a month, Lil Wayne is putting the finishing touches on his album. After doing an experimental album, an album with Young Money, and an album of leftover tracks, Lil Wayne is releasing the album he wanted out years ago. Tha Carter IV intends to pick up where his previous Carter, III, left off.

Already on the album, Lil Wayne has enlisted Busta Rhymes, Cee Lo, Tech N9ne, Bun B, John Legend, and Will.i.am. Now, several of New York's finest have been added to the track listing. Lil Wayne will be teaming up with some of the greatest rappers of all-time for a posse cut for Tha Carter IV. Teaming up with Nas, Shyne, and Jadakiss, Lil Wayne is working on a classic track.

Apologizing to the fans for delaying the album for so long, Wayne put together his Sorry 4 The Wait mixtape. The official release of the mixtape will be this Wednesday. The album will feature production from Boi-1da, Polow da Don, Swizz Beatz, and Bangladesh. Tha Carter IV will see its official release date on August 29, 2011.
