The Complete Guide to Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter V'
The Latest (4/9): Lil Wayne gave an interview to Red Bull Music Academy where he spoke about reuniting with his longtime producer Mannie Fresh a.k.a. the dude who produced his debut single "Tha Block Is Hot" way back from 1999. Mannie was a big part at the start of Wayne's career, producing on early albums like 2000's Lights Out, 2002's 500 Degreez and the first Carter LP from 2004. Wayne revealed the hip hop veteran produced on the intro track to Tha Carter V.
Mannie Fresh followed up Wayne's comments in another interview with RBMA Radio, saying, "We didn’t miss a beat. I think it was a good thing for us not to do a song in a long time, so when we came together he felt just as well as I did. Like, 'Wow, this is what hip hop is missing. They want that OG original Cash Money sound.'"
Wayne also teased up a new song with DJ Mustard that's getting him particularly hyped up. "If my album was wack and I only had that one song on there, I'd still go platinum—double platinum," he boasted.
