Lil Wayne


Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. (born September 27, 1982), known by his stage name Lil Wayne, is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1991, at the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo The B.G.'z, alongside fellow New Orleans-based rapper Lil' Doogie. In 1996, Lil Wayne formed the Southern hip hop group Hot Boys, with his Cash Money label-mates Juvenile, Young Turk and Lil' Doogie (who now went by B.G.). Hot Boys debuted with Get It How U Live! that same year. Lil Wayne gained most of his success with the group's major selling album Guerrilla Warfare (1999). Along with being the flagship artist of Cash Money Records, Lil Wayne is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of his own imprint, Young Money Entertainment, which he founded in 2005.
 
Lil Wayne has a lot of number 1s and a lot of albums and mix tapes for e.g. his album Carter 3 sold over 3 Million copies in a week. His song Lollipop hit number 1 in the charts in 2000/2003. From 2003 his success just grew and grew. He is now the best rapper alive.  I love all his songs but my favorite mix tape is Dedication 5.
