On the red carpet at the 2013 BET Awards, Vibe caught up with DJ Drama and asked him about Lil Wayne‘s upcoming mixtape, Dedication 5, which was announced last month.

Drama explains that the mixtape is coming “sooner than people think”, confirms that Weezy has already started to record freestyles over other music artists’ instrumentals, and if it is hard for him to get Tune off a skateboard and into a studio.

He also mentioned that the skits will be back on Dedication 5 like how they are on the first 3 tapes in the Dedication mixtape series, but not on the fourth installment.

We first heard about this song a few days ago, now here is a video of Swizz Beatz confirming he has single on the way called “Hands Up” featuring Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, and 2 Chainz.

Swizz tells Mikey Fresh on the red carpet at the 2013 BET Awards that he will drop the track as soon as he is finished mixing it and that they have all already shot a music video for it at the weekend in Los Angeles, California!

Are you looking forward to hearing this “summer smash” ❓
