Data Insight

I Am Not a Human Being was released while Lil Wayne was serving a prison sentence, built largely around his Young Money signees. He co-wrote the tracks in his usual style, with Drake appearing on three songs and Nicki Minaj on two, backed by producers like Boi-1da and Noah "40" Shebib.

I Am Not a Human Being is the eighth studio album by Lil Wayne, released in September 2010 on Cash Money Records / Universal Republic and produced by Bangladesh, Detail, Tha Bizness, Da Internz, T-Minus, and Cardiak. The album was recorded largely while Wayne was serving an eight-month prison sentence on Rikers Island, with vocal tracks laid down in the facility's recording space. Despite, or because of, its unusual recording circumstances, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold over 200,000 copies in its first week. Featuring 'Right Above It' with Drake and 'With You' with Bruno Mars, the record demonstrated Wayne's ability to maintain creative output even while incarcerated. I Am Not a Human Being confirms Wayne's prolificacy and his ability to remain commercially relevant even under the most constrained creative conditions.
