LISTEN HERE / WATCH HERE

24 FEBRUARY 2023 (TORONTO, ON) - Fresh off his “Global Impact Award” at the 2023 Recording Academy Honors and closing out the 2023 Grammys with Jay-Z, Rick Ross and DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID,” Lil Wayne responds to fans’ very vocal disappointment with his placement on Billboard/VIBE’s “50 Greatest Rappers of All Time” with his new single, “Kant Nobody” featuring DMX, produced by Swizz Beatz. The track premiered via Zane Lowe’s Apple New Music Daily (listen to interview HERE) and released via Young Money Records/Republic Records/Universal Music Canada.

Clocking in just over 3 minutes, Lil Wayne incinerates the record, which features a classic freestyle from the late DMX who punctuates how the greatest rapper alive feels. Lil Wayne also dropped a visual accompanying the track. Directed by TAJ vs TAJ, this video featuring Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz includes nostalgic black and white imagery that exudes classic hip hop with a refreshing modern twist.

During The Zane Lowe Show, Wayne discusses the Billboard/VIBE list, competitiveness in hip-hop, experimentation, skateboarding culture and more. Reacting to his position on the Billboard/VIBE list, Wayne says, “I can deal with that. I will tell you that I am a motherf—ing one. Everybody whose names you named, they also know I’m number one. Go ask ’em. They know what it is.”

Later on in the conversation, Wayne speaks on his versatility as an artist “The last tour I got off of was with blink-182…At the end of the day, I find myself at the Country Music Awards and I find myself doing tours with blink-182. There’s not a lot of rappers in this position who can do that or say they’ve done that. “

The new release arrives before Wayne’s headlining Rolling Loud California performance next weekend. Kicking off in April, Wayne’s sold-out 29-city tour also includes a newly confirmed show in Columbia, SC.
