Tha Carter III is the sixth studio album by rapper Lil Wayne, set to be released on June 10 2008.[1] It is the final album in Tha Carter trilogy.[2]

Background

Tha Carter III was named the "#1 most anticipated album of 2007" by XXL, but was changed to a 2008 release date.[3][4]

Album leak

After most of the album leaked on the Internet in mid-2007, Lil Wayne used the leaked tracks, plus four new songs to make an album titled The Leak.[3] The Leak was to be officially released on December 18 2007, with the actual album being delayed until June 10 2008.[5] When questioned about the unplanned leak, Lil Wayne said:

We have to find out exactly what's out there. I'll probably just [collect] all the songs that's floating around and make my own mixtape called "The Leak" since people want the music so bad. To tell you the truth though, there's a song I did with Kanye West out there—of course you want to save that for your album, but the rest of them songs probably wouldn't have made the album. There's a song floating around that says 'produced by Timbaland'; Tim didn't produce that record though.[6]

Music

Lil Wayne stated that producers will include The Alchemist, Cool & Dre, Diesel, Jim Jonsin, Just Blaze, Kanye West, Mannie Fresh, The Runners, Scott Storch, Timbaland, and will.i.am.[7][8][9] In an interview with HipHopCanada.com, Solitair of the Black Jays stated that he and Cipha Sounds produced a track for Lil Wayne's "new project" (possibly referring to Tha Carter III).[10] The Runners have stated that they have produced three tracks for Tha Carter III.[11] Lil Wayne revealed that he has written a track for Eminem, which he has yet to send to him.[12] He described this song as the "craziest".[12] However, it was mentioned that Eminem turned down the request.[13]

Collaborators include Birdman, Enrique Iglesias, The Game, Jay-Z,[14] Juelz Santana, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West,[15], and Busta Rhymes.[16] MTV reported that Wyclef Jean worked on a couple of tracks for the album and that a song featuring Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and Timbaland is likely to appear on the album.[6][12] David Banner confirmed that he will be credited for five tracks on the final cut of Tha Carter III.[17] Swizz Beatz has stated he is also working on the album.[18]
