Lil Wayne came out the gate an astonishing prodigy. Born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., the New Orleans artist joined Cash Money Records at just nine years old, and went on to form the group Hot Boys with his labelmates Juvenile, Young Turk, and Lil Doogie. He also launched the imprint Young Money Entertainment, making him largely responsible for launching the careers of Drake and Nicki Minaj.
From his 1999 debut Tha Block Is Hotto his Tha Carter album series, Lil Wayne positions his clever wordplay and gravelly cackle against steamy, bounce-infused beats; with each release, he reminds the masses just how to make a milli.
