Lil Wayne Talks About Upcoming Album & Mannie Fresh

    Controversy hit Lil’ Wayne like crazy this year. After alleged beefs with Gillie and Jay-Z, he’s settled down and hit the booth. Now, he’s ready to unleash more music.
     
    “I’m trying to drop my album at like the end of the year,” Wayne said.
     
    “I’m a bouncing-around artist, on everybody’s track, whatever the style is, I’m on it,” he told MTV. “I’m being there for them now, and I’mma do me at the end of the year. So next year will be my whole year. But this year, I want to devote to those people, do their videos, come out, do shows with them. These songs are their singles, so if I’m not available, why even make it a single?”
     
    Recently, he signed to Hip-Hop’s management company, which is the same company managing Kanye West. How does this change their relationship?
     
    “I can’t clarify it because it’s still in the air..But I can say it’s way more than [producing] two songs. But you never know. The new move is definitely a blessing. A new opportunity. Of course I’m gonna use it as much as I can.”
     
    Aside from this, expect to hear Mannie Fresh on the next Wayne album, which is shocking since few thought it would ever happen again. Mannie Fresh spoke to MTV about this as well.
    “We been talking about it. I told him what my restrictions are. I said, ‘As long as it’s you, I’m fine with it. I don’t have no problems with it. As long as it’s paid for and all the paperwork is done, I’m cool with it.’ Because just as much as I’m a part of [Wayne], he’s a part of me. I don’t see nothing wrong with it. I had bad business with one person in that equation, Baby. That shouldn’t stop me and Wayne from doing something.”
     
    For those waiting on Juelz and Wayne to drop I Can’t Feel My Face, the album…Keep waiting.
     
    “Juelz just called me and said, ‘Since we waiting for somebody to come to the table with the right money, we have so much material, we should drop a mixtape…So that’s what we gonna do, drop a mixtape first. Then probably try to get some big names to do some beats and the album will drop. The mixtape will come by the end of the month. The album, we have to schedule it right. See what a company wants to do. Our plan was to do the whole album ourselves like some starving artists and present it to a company.”
