Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III Album Review

Tha Carter III by Lil Wayne, Album Review

Tha Carter III is the sixth studio album by American rapper Lil Wayne, released on June 10, 2008.
It is presumed to be the final album of Tha Carter trilogy.

One of the more prolific rappers of his generation, Lil’ Wayne has amassed a reputation as an influential and notorious presence on the US rap scene, a reputation bolstered by the release of his third album in the ‘Tha Carter’ series (his sixth overall).
‘Tha Carter III’ is something of a progression from previous instalments which centered around events in the rapper’s house, appearing to feature songs concerned with his own name (Carter is his surname). Featuring production credits from the likes of Kanye West, Robin Thicke and Swizz Beatz among others, this is a truly blockbusting release which fans will delight in exploring.
