Plus poster. You can't talk about hip-hop without mentioning Dwayne Michael Carter, better known as Lil Wayne. Born in New Orleans in 1982, Young Money's rapper and label founder has been in the business since the late 1990s. He has released almost a dozen solo albums and albums with his combo Hot Boys (consisting of Lil Wayne, B. G., Juvenile, Turk). These earned him several dozen platinum awards. His 2008 album "Tha Carter III" reached number 1 in the US charts, as did the corresponding single "Lollipop". As a songwriter for "Lollipop" Lil Wayne, Stephen Garrett, Darius Harrison, Jim Jonsin and Rex Zamor were awarded the Grammy for "Best Rap Song". 2010 saw the release of his longplayer "Rebirth", who entered the Billboard 200 directly in second place. Collaboration partners were well-known artists like Eminem, Kevin Rudolf and Travis Barker. In 2011, the artist ranked fifth among the world's most financially successful musicians with revenues of over 23 million US dollars. The show "It's Weezy Baby", poured by DJ Smoke into a smooth mix, brings together some 30 tracks from Lil Wayne's impressive career. At the Mics we hear Busta Rhymes, R. Kelly, Kanye West, Destiny's Child and Rick Ross, among others.
