We’re not going to lie. When Lil Wayne went off to the pokey, we didn’t really think we would miss him that much. Time flies, you know? Besides, Weezy F was so active before he went to upstate, we knew the sound of his voice wasn’t about to disappear behind bars. But then we heard this brand new record featuring his cash cow Drake, and we would just like to say, we were wrong.
Wayne, we miss thee. ‘Right Above It’ is about as solid of a ‘comeback’ record as we can hope to hear. Produced by KaneBeatz, ‘Right Above It’ is triumphant, like the sound of a man who is getting out of jail and wants the world to know it. The noisy synths and the frolicking drums create this gladiator sounding record, similar to classic Wayne cuts like ‘3 Peat’.
Take a listen for yourself on the next page and also check out the interview Wayne gave to Funkmaster Flex over the phone from Rikers Island. Weezy’s I’m Not A Human Being EP drops September 27.
