Lil Wayne – Discography

Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. in New Orleans, began his rap career at age 12 with Cash Money Records. Rising from a teen prodigy in the Hot Boys to a solo star, he gained mainstream fame with 1999’s Tha Block Is Hot and became a powerhouse in hip-hop thanks to his prolific mixtapes and studio albums.

He hit superstardom with Tha Carter III (2008), featuring hits like “Lollipop” and “A Milli,” and won multiple Grammy Awards. Despite label disputes and delays, Wayne maintained relevance through chart-topping releases (Tha Carter IV, V, Funeral), collaborations (DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One”), and mixtapes (Dedication, Sorry 4 the Wait, No Ceilings).

His ventures into rock (Rebirth), memoir writing (Gone ‘Til November), and high-profile tours (with Blink-182) showcased his versatility. In 2023, he reunited with 2 Chainz for Welcome to Collegrove and continued dropping features with artists like Kanye West and Lil Yachty in 2024.

From underground mixtape king to “best rapper alive” contender, Lil Wayne’s influence spans decades, genres, and generations.
