Lil Wayne Announces Release Date For Tha Carter VI – The R Report
Lil Wayne has officially unveiled the cover art to the forthcoming Tha Carter VI – and the design pays homage to several previous covers from the legendary series.
Shared on Tuesday (April 22), the artwork features a smiling baby Weezy covered in his signature face tattoos, a la 2008’s Tha Carter III and 2012’s Tha Carter IV.
Along with the art, Wayne also launched the accompanying merch for the project, which includes vinyls and CDs (including autographed versions), as well as a tee and a hoodie. You can shop them here.
Tha Carter VI is due out on June 6.
In a new cover story for Rolling Stone, Lil Wayne confirmed a number of high-profile (and in some cases unlikely) guests on the new album, including Miley Cyrus, U2’s Bono and opera singer Andrea Bocelli.
he project will also feature Machine Gun Kelly, dancehall legend Elephant Man and Wayne’s 15-year-old son Kameron.
Behind the boards, the lineup of producers includes Wyclef Jean, Wheezy and possibly Kanye West.
