The finale episode of season 1 of “Young Money Radio” took place on July 17th that included Lil Wayne chopping it up with special guests Birdman, Chris Brown, August Alsina, 2 Chainz, Bishop Omar Jahwar, Brett Berish, and Aaron Jones.

Weezy chatted with August about his new “stateofEMERGEncy: The Rise Of August Alsina” documentary, his new The Product III: State Of Emergency album, their “Resent” collab, and if he still misses plus loves Jada Pinkett Smith. He even conversed with the CEO of Bumbu, with the Green Bay Packers’ running back, and with Bishop O about the Heal America Tour, the OGU program and got a surprise appearance from Deion Sanders.

Also on episode 12 (watch it all below), Tunechi spoke with Breezy about his new joint Slime & B project with Young Thug, his top 3 artists of all time, his clothing line Black Pyramid and basketball, as well as with Chainz about his “Most Expensive Shit” show before they hint at shooting a new music video in a week or so – possibly for ColleGrove 2?

Before the episode came to an end on Apple Music, Wayne talked with Baby about the early days of Cash Money Records, how Ronald “Slim” Williams is doing, which music artists they think will have longevity in the game, how Cash Money stayed strong for so many years, sports, and confirmed a Like Father, Like Son 2 collaboration album as the #1 Stunna wants to have that as his farewell project before he makes an official retirement from rapping!

I previously posted up Lil Wayne‘s full conversation with Eminem at the weekend, and now we can check out the rest of episode 3 of the “Young Money Radio” show on Apple Music that took place on May 8th.

Throughout this radio show, Wayne revealed he is working on a new song with hip-hop group Griselda (not the 2 Chainz one), he is a fan of Killer Mike, he has a collaboration on the way with Jack Harlow called “2K“, and he wishes he could of done a song with the late Pop Smoke.

Tunechi spoke with special guest Kevin Durant about COVID-19, how often he records music, and when the two of them are going to do a track together, as well as also chatted with Nav about not being allowed in Toronto with his criminal past, The Weeknd and XO, musical influences, wanting some new beats, and mentioned he just got done being on tour with Limp Bizkit… but it was actually Blink-182 he went on tour with lol!

For #ThrowbackThursday today, I have decided to share scans from Lil Wayne‘s cover story for the February 2006 issue of Ozone magazine, which took place a few months after his Tha Carter II album had been released in stores.

In an interview with Julia Beverly for the mag, Weezy discussed everything from Hurricane Katrina (even though he was tired of talking about it), why he was not trying to be Jay-Z on his C2 album cover, wanting everyone to stop categorizing him, going to the University of Houston for Psychology classes, and deciding it was time to be a CEO.

What’s going on between you and B.G.? He put out a song dissing you, and I heard you were shouting “Fuck B.G.” at a recent show.
My album is in stores now, Tha Carter II, It’s my fifth solo album. It’s number two on the charts.

I’m sure everyone’s been asking you about your relationship with Trina. Are you open to talking about that?
No.

You’re trying to keep your relationship away from the public eye?
I ain’t tryin’. I am.

You can check out scans from Tunechi‘s cover story below that also includes him talking about touring with Jeezy and T.I., creating songs for different cities and sending them to DJs, his daughter Reginae Carter and why he would not let her be a rapper because he doesn’t think it is a good game for females, and much more!

Lil Wayne sat down with Carl Lamarre from Billboard for an interview while promoting his new line with fashion brand American Eagle on the rooftop of New Design High School in New York City on July 15th.

In their conversation, which you can read below, Weezy spoke on his proudest accomplishment as the CEO of Young Money, working with Swizz Beatz, if they will ever record a joint project together, and his Tha Carter album turning 15-years-old last month.

Tunechi also discussed fashion, “everyday people” wearing his merchandise, Tyga’s “Lightskin Lil Wayne” tribute music video, why Tyga reminds him of Flo Rida, NBA, NFL, what similarities he see’s between himself and Kobe Bryant, the difference in touring with a rock band and touring with rappers, Travis Barker, Drake, and more!

Birdman has handed over the tentative album release dates for YMCMB this year to the CEO of Blu Division Music (Glasses Malone label). As you can see in the photo above, they are looking to release Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album on May 24th this year! Other artists on the Young Money, Cash Money label dropping in 2011 are: Bow Wow, Glasses Malone, Brisco, Lil Twist, DJ Khaled, Birdman, Jay Sean, and Drake. I hope all of this is true, but we all know what YMCMB are like when it comes to release dates.
