Rap-Up.com || Album Cover: Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne reverts back to childhood on the cover for his highly-anticipated album Tha Carter IV, dropping this summer. Continuing the childhood theme found on the LP’s multi-platinum predecessor, the artwork touts a picture of a young Dwayne Carter Jr. dressed up in his graduation attire, with his signature tattoos imposed onto the pic. The album, which has spawned the singles “6 Foot 7 Foot” and Rick Ross-assisted “John,” is set to include guest appearances from Nicki Minaj and Drake.

What do you think of Weezy’s cover art? Let us know.

I like it. Kinda. The more I look at it the more I notice the lack of hard work that went into it. Maybe its just the colors. And so far I havent seen any music that is more mature than the Carter 3 since the Carter 3. Tie My Hands? Mr. Carter? He hasnt been digging deep for a while. I’m still hoping though.
