In another excerpt from Lil Wayne‘s feature in VIBE Magazine‘s October/November issue, Weezy speaks on possibly doing a collaboration project with Rick Ross.

According to Wayne, a project with Miami rap don Rick Ross is being eyed. For Weezy, who seems to have a real synergy with Ricky as evident by their last bruising tag-team statement “John,” working with the stout rapper has become effortless. “It’s really easy,” Wayne told VIBE. “I just know how to jump in Rick’s zone and I’m sure he does the same when it’s a song with me on it. I guess it’s just some kind of musical connection.”

Wayne, who is also rumored to also be working on a joint album with his platinum Young Money artist and cohort Drake, believes that being able to collaborate with other acts is the true measure of talent. “As an artist, I can get in your world,” explains Wayne. “That’s the beauty of music for me. That’s what it’s all about: just adjusting to where I’m at musically, adjusting to the belly of the beast and making the most of it with other artists.”

This just shows that Tunechi is still working hard in the studio, as we know he is already working on another YMCMB compilation and the I Can’t Feel My Face collabo album with Juelz Santana. Maybe Wayne and Drake will scrap working on a collabo album together and just work on one with Rick Ross This would be dope, because personally I think Tune, Drizzy and Rozay are the hottest 3 rappers in the music game today!

In other Lil Wayne news, we can expect Robin Thicke’s “Pretty Little Heart” single featuring Weezy to drop next week and B.o.B’s “Strange Clouds” single featuring Weezy to drop on October 3rd.

According to an Australian newspaper, Herald Sun, Eminem and Lil Wayne will be headlining a six-hour show in Sydney and Melbourne later this year on December 1st. Em and Weezy will be performing a full set of their hits from past to present and local rappers Hilltop Hoods will also be supporting them, as well as two international acts. You will be able to purchase tickets for $150 from 9AM on September 13th.

XXL Magazine recently spoke to the Young Money President Mack Maine about Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album. Mack says C4 is nearly finished, Weezy worked with someone on the album he has never worked with before, they just finished shooting the “6 Foot, 7 Foot” music video which took 4 days, producers Detail and Swizz Beatz will be on the album, and more. I’m guessing the Swizz Beatz record will be the “Anne” one he spoke about a while back. You can read the interview below:

“I was in the studio all night workin’ on this Carter IV,” the Young Money President told XXL. “We pretty much finished, to be honest; we probably need about two more songs. We got David Banner coming in tonight, so hopefully he’ll come with somethin’. We try to make sure—he kind of makes every album. He made Tha Carter III, and made We Are Young Money.”

As for features on the disc, aside from Nicki and Drake, Mack remained tight lipped, though he did hint at a surprise. “I’m gonna keep the features a surprise,” he said, before revealing that Weezy “just did something with somebody he never worked with, though.”
