Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., is one of the best-known rappers not just in the United States but worldwide.

Also a songwriter, singer, and record label exec, he is considered one of the most influential hip-hop artists of all time, chiefly because his work has substantially impacted the music genre.

Born on September 27, 1982, in New Orleans, Louisiana, Wayne’s career started in the late 1990s when he was in his teens. Hardships and adversities surrounded his early life as he grew up poor and experienced the ordeals that come with a broken home. However, he found expressive solace in music.

At the age of 9, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records, through which he soon became a member of the Hot Boys group in the 1990s. From the outset, it was evident he had a rare talent: a distinct voice, a clever play on words, and a fearless approach to lyricism.

As a part of Hot Boys, he garnered recognition as a member of Hot Boys, having contributed to the group’s albums—including Get It How U Live! and platinum-selling Guerrilla Warfare, released in 1999 and 1997, respectively.

A classic path to stardom

Wayne’s solo career took off in 1999 when he released his debut album, Tha Block Is Hot. It was a commercial success, reaching number three on the Billboard 200 chart and earning a platinum certification under the auspices of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

His second album as a solo artist, Lights Out, was released in 2000 to similar but slightly more success. The record earned a gold certification from the RIAA. Two years later, Lil Wayne unveiled one of his most critical albums, Tha Carter, which featured hot singles like Go DJ and Earthquake.

Tha Carter was also a hit. The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 chart and claimed a platinum certification from the RIAA. Its success, in turn, laid the groundwork for the artist's subsequent albums: Tha Carter II (2005), Tha Carter III" (2008), and Tha Carter IV (2011).

It was the emergence of Tha Carter III that catapulted Lil Wayne to superstardom. The commercial juggernaut sold more than one million copies in its first week and snatched him multiple Grammy Awards, including the Best Rap Album title. Spawns like Lollipop and A Milli championed the blow-up.
