Lil Wayne Drops Nostalgic Promo Ahead of ‘Tha Carter VI’ Release, Teases New Sound and Star Collaborations

Lil Wayne has set the internet ablaze with the release of a new commercial promoting his long-awaited album Tha Carter VI, just hours before it officially drops. The cinematic teaser is a nostalgic trip through the rapper’s legendary career, featuring Wayne recreating the iconic cover artwork from each album in the Carter series. As he transforms through the eras, fans are treated to the signature sounds of each installment before the video ends with a fresh, fiery snippet from Tha Carter VI.

The promo, now trending across social media platforms, has fans eagerly speculating about what’s in store. “Where the track list at,” one user asked on X (formerly Twitter), while another added, “What the hell is that last song? That’s on the album? 🔥 sounds good.” The anticipation is only growing, as Wayne has remained mostly tight-lipped about the album’s full content.

In an April interview with Rolling Stone, Wayne hinted that Tha Carter VI would feature a bold mix of collaborations, describing his creative approach as asking himself, “What would I sound like on something with such and such?” Among the surprise names he revealed were Billie Eilish, Andrea Bocelli, and Miley Cyrus, suggesting that this album will push genre boundaries while showcasing Wayne’s versatility.

Set to release on June 6, Tha Carter VI marks Lil Wayne’s first solo album since Funeral in 2020, and the first Carter installment since Tha Carter V dropped in 2018. To celebrate, Wayne is headlining a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City—the first time he has taken center stage at the iconic venue.

Following the NYC launch, Wayne will embark on a North American tour dedicated to the Carter legacy. He’ll be joined by longtime collaborators and rising stars including Tyga, Belly Gang Kushington, NoCap, and Hot Boys. The tour kicks off on July 30 in Bristow, Virginia, and wraps up in West Palm Beach, Florida, on October 2.

As fans count down the final hours to release, all eyes are on Wayne to see how he plans to elevate the legendary Carter series to new heights. If the teaser is any indication, Tha Carter VI is shaping up to be both a tribute to his past and a bold leap into the future.
