We should be getting “Tha Carter VI” right before the weather gets extremely hot.
For many hip-hop fans, Lil Wayne is a top-five rapper—possibly even top three. His legendary mixtapes, iconic albums, and jaw-dropping guest verses have solidified his status as one of the greatest to ever do it. But here’s a thought: where would he rank without his Tha Carter series? Fortunately, we won’t have to wonder for long, as the saga is officially continuing.
In one of the most unexpected reveals in hip-hop history, Lil Wayne announced that Tha Carter VI will drop on June 6, 2024—through a Cetaphil commercial. Yes, you read that right. The rap legend casually unveiled the release date while starring in an ad for the popular skincare brand, catching fans completely off guard.
