Data Insight

Funeral is a sprawling 24-track record on which Lil Wayne wrote or co-wrote every song, leaning on his trademark off-the-dome writing. Production comes from longtime collaborator Mannie Fresh alongside Mike Will Made It and Murda Beatz, and the guests range from Big Sean and Lil Baby to Doja Cat and 2 Chainz.

Funeral is the twelfth studio album by Lil Wayne, released in January 2020 on Young Money Entertainment / Cash Money Records / Republic Records and produced by Southside, TM88, Metro Boomin, and ATL Jacob, among many others. Released as a surprise with over twenty-four tracks, the album is a sprawling reflection on mortality, legacy, and artistic identity, with Wayne drawing from trap, drill, and more experimental production styles. The title's funereal theme is both literal, acknowledging the deaths of peers and the stakes of his dangerous lifestyle, and metaphorical, representing the death of old artistic selves and the birth of new creative perspectives. Featuring appearances from Adam Levine, Lil Baby, XXXTentacion (posthumously), and others, the album showcased Wayne's continued versatility and his ability to collaborate across generational divides. Funeral was well received as evidence that one of hip-hop's great careers still had creative gas in the tank.
