LIL WAYNE DROPS MIXTAPE “THA FIX BEFORE THA VI”

5x GRAMMY Award-winning music mogul Lil Wayne released his latest project THA FIX BEFORE THA VI via Young Money Records/Republic Records streaming on all platforms HERE.
 
The mixtape is Wayne’s gift to fans, holding listeners over before the highly anticipated sequel, THA CARTER VI. ‘Tha Fix” includes ten tracks, each hitting a different angle from the chart topping artist. The gift to fans includes a mix of club bangers, alternative, in addition to Wayne’s low and unique tone highlighted against the backdrop of acoustic guitar featured in “Tuxedo.” The lead track “To The Bank,” rips through with Wayne’s delivery, while “Act Up” featuring Jon Batiste blends both spectrums of R&B and Hip-Hop, New Orleans’ very own. Straight from his pen, to the ears of loyal fans, Lil Wayne reaches back into his mixtape era days, the throwbacks that solidified his multi-platinum status. The project highlights Wayne’s uncanny delivery, coupled with a daring beat production. The never-before heard tracks continue to prove that Wayne is still the master of his art.
