"Tha Carter VI Is Coming: Lil Wayne Returns to the Throne With MSG Takeover June 6"

Finally, the wait is over. With his first-ever headlining performance at Madison Square Garden, Lil Wayne is celebrating the arrival of Tha Carter VI on June 6 in a big way. Hip-hop fans are already preparing for an incredible night in New York City as the concert marks a historic moment for one of the genre's greatest artists.

Star-studded and surprising, the album will be released under Young Money and Republic. Wayne talked candidly about the collaborative nature of the project in a recent Rolling Stone interview. Wyclef Jean, Miley Cyrus, Andrea Bocelli, and perhaps an uncleared Billie Eilish sample—the latter is still under wraps—will all be featured.

In addition to the MSG event, Wayne will begin touring in Birmingham, Alabama on May 3. Fans can expect a nostalgic experience as he performs a number of gigs that reunite his legendary group from the 1990s and early 2000s, The Hot Boys, which includes Juvenile, B.G., and Turk.
