Remember back to the summer of last year when we received a couple of hints that Sqad Up (Lil Wayne, Dizzy aka Raw D.I., Gudda Gudda, Kidd Kidd, Young Yo, Supa Blanco, and Fee Banks) were all working on a reunion album?

Since then we haven’t had any more updates on a reunion except for Weezy bringing out the original members Dizzy, Kidd, Gudda, and Fee to perform “We Ready“, “Guess Who’s Back?“, and “Best Of Me” at his “Lil Weezyana Fest” in New Orleans.

However, it looks like the Sqad Up reunion album is still being worked on. Thanks to A$AP Retro, who asked Raw D.I. in an Instagram direct message a few days ago if the project is still being worked on, D.I. replied: “We working on doing it fam”.

This means that we can add another collaboration album Tunechi is recording for us fans to the list of ColleGrove with 2 Chainz and an untitled project with Mannie Fresh and Juvenile!

Kidd Kidd recently chopped it up with DJ Smallz for a 10-minute interview and at the start of their conversation, Kidd reflected back on the Sqad Up days and who exactly was in the hip-hop group.

Before the conversation ended, the former Young Money affiliate was asked what the biggest thing is that he has learned from being around Lil Wayne. He mentioned that “work” is what he has learned the most from Weezy, as well as that you don’t have to be “better” than your competition, but if you can “outwork” them then you will beat them.

You can watch the full interview after the jump below. Head to the 9:45 mark to go straight to the Tunechi question. If you have not yet heard their latest collaboration, “Ejected“, click here to check it out!

As we already know, Lil Wayne held his 1st annual “Lil Weezyana Fest” at Champions Square’s Bold Sphere Music in New Orleans, Louisiana on August 28th. I can’t post the full video of Weezy‘s live performance that was broadcasted on TIDAL, but you can watch some footage recorded from the crowd below.

In the clips, Lil Wayne can be seen opening up his concert by performing “Mr. Carter” live, as well as reuniting and performing live with Sqad Up‘s Gudda Gudda, Kidd Kidd, Dizzy and Fee Banks, the Hot Boys‘ Juvenile and Turk, Master P, No Limit, Mannie Fresh, and Curren$y.

The 1st annual “Lil Weezyana Fest” took place tonight at Champions Square’s Bold Sphere Music in Lil Wayne‘s hometown New Orleans, Louisiana. If you could not be in attendance, Jay Z’s streaming service TIDAL let anyone with an account watch the full show live as it happened.

Personally this was one of the greatest Tunechi concerts I have ever watched and my highlight was seeing a Sqad Up reunion on stage with Tune rapping his verses from the Sqad Up tapes word for word. He also mentioned throughout the show that he hopes to do a “Lil Weezyana Fest” every single year like how Drake does his “OVO Fest”.

Weezy brought plenty of special guests out tonight including: Drake, Ms. Tee, Big Freedia, DJ Jubilee, Cory Gunz, 5th Ward Weebie, Jake Troth, Shanell, August Alsina, Dizzy, Kidd Kidd, Gudda Gudda, Fee Banks, Curren$y, Mannie Fresh, Mack Maine, Juvenile, Turk, Hood, Euro, Master P and No Limit, and Jae Millz.

It was good to see Wayne take it back and perform songs off his older projects too, such as “Georgia Bush“, “Dedication 2 (Bang Bang)“, “I Miss My Dawgs“, “Kush“, “We Ready“, “Guess Who’s Back?“, “Best Of Me“, “Bling Bling“, “Project Bitch“, and plenty more. The biggest disappointment was when TIDAL had to cut off viewers from watching Drizzy’s set as he is under contract with Apple.

I have listed every song that Mr. Carter performed live at his 2015 “Lil Weezyana Fest” after the jump below. What was your favorite part or parts of the concert? Let me know in the comments section!
