Lil Wayne tells XXL Magazine that he will be dropping his Sorry For The Wait mixtape in a week or 2, and that he decided to release the tape because Cortez Bryant pushed Tha Carter IV back to August. Weezy also says the mixtape will have about 10 songs and be similar to No Ceilings, with him going in over other artist’s beats. Lil B a confirmed feature too.

Dro recently interviewed Lil Wayne and Young Money recording engineer Mike Banger at Shoe Gallery in Miami. They speak about Mike‘s background history, engineering for Lil Wayne, the No Ceilings recording sessions, his longest studio session with Weezy, recording styles for each of the Young Mula artists, and producing the “YM Banger” record off I Am Not A Human Being. You can check it all out in the video above, and you can also read another interview were Mike Banger discusses working with Tunechi and on Tha Carter IV album here with Crossfade!

I should also point out that this video is NS4W, and it will be included on The Nino Brown Story Part 3.

Lil Wayne won two awards at the very first MTV2 Sucker Free Summit, which was held earlier today (July 25). Weezy won an award for The People’s Crown which was for his “Drop The World” single featuring Eminem, and an award for Mixtape Of The Year which was for his No Ceilings tape. Birdman picked up Tune‘s first award and Drizzy who was dressed up as Wayne wearing dreads picked up his second with Marley G, Lil Twist and NO Capo in the back. You can view all of the award winners here and as we previously reported, Weezy was nominated for a total of seven awards. You can watch the whole show after the jump too in case you missed it.

After Sean‘s upcoming mixtape The Inkwell drops, Garrett will be focusing on the launch of his album. He’s close to finalizing a deal with Cash Money Records. Lil Wayne brought the deal to the table before he went to prison.

“I really got a lot of respect for Wayne,” Sean said. “Wayne embraced me with open arms before he went on a little vacation. He took me on tour with him. He was really open arms about rocking with him. He put me on the pilot seat going on right before him. I got a lot of respect for Cash Money, because it represents where music is going as far as really believing in yourself and not just being in a box. Just creating your own style, your own movement and believing in your team. Cash Money is really family-orientated. I can bring a lot to Cash Money, in reference to what I do, developing their other artists, helping them to travel across the water. They’ve got artists they are trying to break internationally. It’s sort of a win/win situation.”

Sean has been on the road, opening for Gucci Mane, and he said he’s about to go on tour with Cash Money/Young Money family member Drake.

Via MTV, and it looks like Lil Wayne was a big part of Sean Garrett‘s deal with Cash Money Records! We can also be expecting the full version to “Girls On Girls” on Sean‘s The Inkwell mixtape which is dropping soon, and then hopefully we will get the music video for it.
