Tha Carter VI marks Lil Wayne’s first entry in the iconic series in seven years, and it’s a bold, eclectic return. Spanning 19 tracks, it showcases his enduring creativity, bouncing between rock, opera, and New Orleans homage. While not every song may land with every listener, highlights like “King Carter,” “Loki’s Theme,” and “If I Played Guitar” reaffirm his lyrical flair. Surprising features like Bono and a Weezer sample, add to the unpredictable ride. Though it doesn’t quite match the heights of Tha Carter III, it likely edges out V.
