Complex
#1. Lil Wayne, Tha Carter IV
Release date: TBD
Likelihood of release: Most likely
Producers: T-Minus, 40, Bangladesh
Collaborations: Drake, Rick Ross
What we know: Face it: Young Tunechi is running shit and everyone else is just a runner-up. Last year, Wayne made more hits and more money sitting in a jail cell than most rappers made in their lifetime. We worried if his pen game would remain sharp post-prison, but “6 Foot 7 Foot” quelled those fears. And although expectations for Wayne are sky-high thanks to the mammoth hype and commercial dominance of Tha Carter III, we’re still willing to put our money on Young Money’s leader thanks to his consistency. And after throwaway albums like last year’s Rebirth and I Am Not A Human Being both managed to go gold, we’re guessing if Weezy can score another No. 1 hit in the same vein as “Lollipop,” he might fuck around and do a milli Taylor Swift numbers.
