Lil Wayne's highly-anticipated album Tha Carter III will be released on Tuesday, June 10. This will be his sixth solo album and his third installment of Tha Carter series.
Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, has entitled the album series Tha Carter based on the duality of his last name and the fictitious drug headquarters of Wesley Snipes' character Nino Brown in the 1991 movie New Jack City.
"Lollipop," the first single off of Tha Carter 3, is the most commercially successful song in Lil Wayne's career thus far. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first Top 10 single for Wayne as a solo artist, as well as his first #1 on the chart. It also gave him his first #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks.
The album is considered by many to be the most highly anticipated hip-hop album of 2008. However, on May 25, the album was leaked internationally. DJ Chuck T was responsible for the leak, citing retaliation for an interview conducted by Wayne, where he discredited all DJ's and the mixtape scene days before.
The album has 16 tracks, but contains five additional ones that were released on The Leak, a preview album Lil Wayne made prior to Tha Carter III official release.
