A mixtape from Lil Wayne, “Sorry 4 The Wait is one of his first forays into a trap and was released as an apology for the delay between “Tha Carter III” and “Tha Carter IV.” It shows a clean Wayne who’s still eccentric, personal and insane.
One of the most interesting stories in rap, Lil Wayne started as a child prodigy in New Orleans, worked his way to the top of Cash Money Records before helping usher in a new era of hip-hop. He made rap mainstream and brought it to the digital age before crashing his career with mediocre music, foolish decisions and a legal battle with Cash Money while rising stars he mentored replaced his relevance like Drake and Nicki Minaj. But much like a prodigal son, Lil Wayne returned to his roots and made one of the greatest comeback records in rap history.
