What the DJs say

"Lil Wayne's been one of the most in-demand collaborators recently and he's been on some of the hottest tracks. If you look at his discography you'd be surprised at some of the big tracks that he's featured on.

"He's got a very distinctive New Orleans drawl and sounding individual in hip hop today is so important. He hasn't had a huge solo hit in this country yet, but maybe that could happen this year." Trevor Nelson Related Links
