Over the past few years, Lil Wayne has been teasing multiple projects to his fans, including ColleGrove II with 2 Chainz, Dedication 7 with DJ Drama, I Am Not A Human Being III, and Tha Carter VI, the last of which came as a surprise for fans when it was officially announced in 2022. In the past, he stated that 2018’s Tha Carter V would be the final installment of the iconic series.
Today (Sept. 20), Weezy unveiled a pre-save link to a project titled Tha Fix Before Tha VI, along with red-hued artwork for the upcoming effort. No other details have been revealed, including the project’s release date. It is being speculated that Tha Fix Before Tha VI will contain singles like “Kant Nobody” and “Kat Food.”
It’s been three years since Lil Wayne liberated his thirteenth studio LP, Funeral, a 24-song body of work with assists from Big Sean, Lil Baby, Jay Rock, Adam Levine, Takeoff, XXXTentacion, and more. The album became the New Orleans legend’s fifth No. 1 on the Billboard 200. A deluxe edition of Funeral arrived months later with eight extra songs and collaborations alongside Doja Cat, Jessie Reyez, Lil Uzi Vert, Conway The Machine, and Benny The Butcher.
Since then, the Hot Boys alum continued his prolific output with the No Ceilings 3 and Trust Fund Babies, the latter of which was a joint effort with Rich The Kid. In addition, he contributed his raps to a slew of high-end drops, including Polo G’s “GANG GANG,” Drake’s “You Only Live Twice,” The Weeknd’s “I Heard You’re Married,” Chris Brown’s “Possessive,” DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID,” and — just last Thursday (Sept. 14) — Nas’ “Never Die.” He’s also appeared at recent events like the Colorado Buffaloes’ matchup against the Colorado State Rams and the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
