artist spotlight: Lil Wayne Puts down his beer pong cup & picks up a lollipop

Lil Wayne was recently named "Man Of The Year" by GQ Magazine (2007) and "Best Rock Star Alive" by Blender Magazine (2008). As a solo artist Wayne has released a total of 5 albums- and I'm sure you've heard at least one of his catchy hooks since. Tha Block Is Hot (1999) reached platinum status and was a #1 Billboard Album. He later released Lights Out (2000), 500Degreez (2002), and his defining album, 2004's platinum certified, Tha Carter, which featured the single "Go DJ." His critically acclaimed, platinum-plus follow-up, Tha Carter II, 2005 debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Albums chart, a groundbreaking and provocative tour de force which the New York Times hailed as 'historic.' Tha Carter III marks the sixth solo project from Wayne. Tha Carter III- will be the final installment in his trilogy.

A sucker for the sizzurp-"Lollipop" feat. Static will be the 1st single off of the album.
