Who knows more about love than Weezy? And where better to love and be loved than prison? Well that is where the words of love came together. The follow up release to last years double platinum LP 'Carter IV' will be called 'Devol"
Yup, that's 'loved' spelled backwards, but he pronounced it 'devil', which gives us an insight into an album full of what he described as 'my version of love songs.'
'What I mean by my version of love songs is meaning they're not saying, 'I love you', they're saying.' and he trails off chuckling.
The songs were written in the can over at Rikers Island in 2010. 'It's all material I did when I was locked up,' he said.
There's no word on a release date, but Lil Wayne has mentioned that he'll release a sequel to the excellent I Am Not A Human Being mixtape in the middle of this year.
Lil Wayne has one of the most distinct voices. I have become a true fan, simply because he's so freakin weird. this album sounds like the perfect next step.
