Music mogul Jay Z may be having the last laugh in his pursuit to make Tidal a premium choice streaming music service by exclusively streaming rap star Lil Wayne‘s long-awaited Free Weezy Album release.
After months of anticipation, Wayne’s long-awaited 15-track project is now up for grabs on Tidal.
The 15-track FWA features appearances by Young Jeezy (“White Girl”), Wiz Khalifa (“Feeling Right”), Young Money associate Cory Gunz, Jim “CAPO” Jones and Black Uhuru’s Junior Reid (“Murda”), singer/songwriter Jake Troth (“My Heart Races On”), “B*tch Better Have My Money” writer Bibi Bourelly (“Without You”) and others. “I honestly gotta say that this #FWA album is my best work yet! I won’t let u down as a fan,” Weezy tweeted in April. “Dis sh!t is a beast! Ok let me get bak 2da booth.” (Rolling Stone)
Footage of Wayne breaking the news of his project’s Fourth of July release date surfaced a few weeks ago.
“My name is Tunechi – I got a new album coming out, it’s called F.W.A., it’ll be out Fourth of July. Make some motherf*cking noise.” (YouTube)
Back in March, Wayne had “Free Weezy Album” shirts passed out to fans at a concert.
Last night during Miami Music Week, Lil Wayne’s team handed out T-shirts for his upcoming Free Weezy Album. The black and white “FWA” shirts were designed by Weezy’s clothing line Trukfit in collaboration with Red Bull Guest House where Wayne performed. The rapper announced last month that he would be releasing the new tracks for free very soon. (Complex)
Wayne hopped onto his social media channels to promote the new project earlier this year.
