According to Allhiphop.com, rapper Lil Wayne recently signed a multi-album recording contract with Cash Money Records. The specifics of the deal are confidential, but will contractually require Weezy to record several more albums under the label.

“Working with our son Lil’ Wayne throughout the many years has helped us build Cash Money into the empire it is today,” said Bryan “Baby” Williams, who co-founded the groundbreaking label with his brother 16 years ago. “Cash Money is a family and Lil’ Wayne has been part of our family since day one.”


Lil Wayne’s ‘The Carter III’ has sold 2.4 million copies to date. Of the six albums he has released, four of them went platinum. The Carter III was his most-anticipated album and upon release helped skyrocket Weezy into commercial and critical success. According to Ronald “Slim” Williams, Wayne’s success is not surprising, considering the character he has displayed since first joining their “family.”

“We were introduced to him when he was just a little, little kid,” Slim shares. “He told us he wanted to be a rapper. He just called us every day, and at one point, even came to live with us. He just outworked everybody. He had that drive to succeed.”

In other news, Lil Wayne received 12 nominations in the upcoming 2008 B.E.T. Hip Hop Awards. His categories ranged from “Lyricist of the Year” to “MVP of the Year”.
