By the Numbers
Tha Carter V finally arrived after years of label disputes, and Lil Wayne wrote or co-wrote it throughout in his usual head-written style. Production runs from Metro Boomin and DJ Mustard to Mannie Fresh, and the feature list is stacked with Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, XXXTentacion, Snoop Dogg, and Nicki Minaj.
Tha Carter V is the eleventh studio album by Lil Wayne, released in September 2018 on Young Money Entertainment / Cash Money Records / Republic Records and produced by OG Ron C, Southside, TM88, Cardo, and many others. The most delayed album in Wayne's career, originally announced in 2014 but held up for years by his legal battle with Cash Money Records, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with over 480,000 equivalent album units. Debuting alongside an extraordinary twenty-three tracks and featuring XXXTentacion, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, and Nicki Minaj, the release was a genuine event celebrated across hip-hop. Critics praised it as his strongest work in years, a return to the lyrical intensity and creative ambition of Tha Carter III era. Tha Carter V is the triumphant conclusion to a years-long struggle for artistic freedom and commercial vindication.
