Lil Wayne recently chopped it up with Variety to talk all about his “Young Money Radio” show, the aim for it, and if he enjoys being a radio host.

During their interview, Weezy also spoke about how he is adapting to life during the COVID-19 pandemic, having a platform to speak out on racism, Googling his own lyrics, thinking Wheezy‘s producer tag was Future shouting him out, Betty Wright‘s influence on him, rolling his own weed, one of his favorite memories with Nicki Minaj being from the “High School” video shoot, and much more.

You can read the full conversation between Tunechi and Variety after the jump below. He even teased a Tha Carter VI album by replying with “the next one” when asked what his “favorite Carter” project is!

We all saw Lil Wayne‘s dope live performance of his “Kobe Bryant” song at the 2020 BET Awards on Sunday evening, and now it looks like the 2009 track will be re-released on streaming services.

According to the producer of the record, Infamous, we can be expecting the new version of “Kobe Bryant” on streaming platforms soon after he replied with “It’s coming” to the following question on Twitter:

“We need both versions [of ‘Kobe Bryant’] out on all platforms… am sure there is no sample issues, don’t know why it not on streaming platforms as yet”

Are you looking forward to hearing the CDQ version of the new verse Wayne added to “Kobe Bryant“? R.I.P. to the Black Mamba!

Mannie Fresh was a recent guest appearance on Power 105.1 FM’s “The Breakfast Club” radio show, but of course DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee had to do the interview from their own homes on Skype as everyone is currently quarantining.

Throughout their conversation, Mannie discussed his recent Instagram Live battle with Scott Storch, who he thinks Lil Wayne should battle live with on social media, fans wanting one more joint album between himself and Wayne, having a bunch of unreleased songs with Weezy, and more.

The New Orleans DJ, rapper and record producer also revealed he keeps reminding Tunechi every time he see’s him in person to drop their Tha Carter/Fresh Files project, but a few of the songs are from the time he was dissing Cash Money Records and because he is in a better place right now, Tune does not want the tracks to come out!

“In my whole career, I never had a song that I done with somebody ever leak or anything that got in the wrong hands. If Wayne don’t agree with it then I’m not gonna put that song out. As tempting as it is a lot of times cause you’re like damn bro come on. Some of them songs that I got right now with Wayne was just out of frustration because of the deal that happened. He was saying some stuff on ’em. He was just like now he’s in a better space, in a better place… he was like nah dude: ‘I really don’t want them songs to come out because I don’t want to deal with the repercussions of them.’ He was like: ‘I’m over that. It was just me airing out and I rather not have that out there.’ So out of respect, I’mma respect his wishes and not put ’em out.”

While on Instagram Live recently, Mannie Fresh expressed his desire to do one more joint project with Lil Wayne before he retires from music.

Mannie told his viewers that him and Weezy need to make history one more time with no other producers involved, as well as that the collaboration album doesn’t even need to be full of songs – just 8 or 9 will do.

It is not only Tunechi who Mannie Fresh wants to do joint albums with, he also wouldn’t mind producing full projects with Nas, JAY-Z and Jay Electronica. I don’t know what the hold up is, but Fresh and Tune need to go ahead and drop that Tha Carter/Fresh Files!

In this 1 hour and 30 minute interview, Banger spoke about numerous things such as working with Lil Wayne, witnessing the pressure of Wayne having the “Best Rapper Alive” title, first starting as an intern for Mr. Carter around Tha Carter days (recalls buying him Popeyes in the middle of the night), and much more. The parts about Weezy start from the 19:40 mark and last throughout the whole conversation.

PS: “YM Banger” from I Am Not A Human Being was named after Mike Banger because he produced, recorded and mixed all of the song himself!

Wolverhampton producer S-X sat down with John “TipsmanPR” Paul a couple of months ago for a one on one interview for the Beatsabar Show, which you can watch below.

During the conversation, S-X revealed that he knew he had officially made it in the music industry when he was in the studio with both Lil Wayne and Future in the United States of America at just 19-years-old.

However, the producer then revealed he can’t talk too much about what they recorded, due to a legal situation. If you didn’t already know, S-X produced the beat for Wayne‘s “Tina Turn Up Needs A Tune Up” song featuring Lil Twist and Euro!
