An album’s worth of unreleased Lil Wayne songs just leaked.
12 tracks were uploaded to SoundCloud, titled with Chinese characters in a playlist called “Lost Grails.” The songs were apparently recorded in 2012 and 2013, between Tha Carter 4 and I Am Not a Human Being 2. The songs have names like “Kidnap Kupid,” “Road Lizard,” “Music to My Ears,” “Jungle” and “Class.” There are guest verses from Curren$y, Kidd Kidd and Mack Maine.
It’s unclear if Weezy ever planned to release these records, but if he did, it probably wasn’t like this — randomly, unmastered and in another language.
In official Lil Wayne music news, he tweeted out the video of his new ESPN spot, featuring a song called “Playoff.”
BALL LIKE THE PLAYOFFS
You already know it’s GAME TIME tonight on @espn !!
Hot Takes:
- It could be worse. It could have been the Funeral album, which he plans to drop next month.
- An unreleased Lil Wayne and Sean Kingston collab also leaked this week.
- He needs to secure the vault.
- If he recorded this back in 2012 and held onto it this long, he probably never planned to put this out. But why?
- Weezy’s getting bags from ESPN and has probably recorded thousands of songs in his career. He’s not losing sleep over this one.
