Lil Wayne To Release 'Tha Carter IV' This Year

Looks like Lil Wayne is releasing his 'The Rebirth' album this year - and his eagerly awaited 'Tha Carter IV'.

Met with several delays already, 'The Rebirth' (which is the first rock-themed record for the rapper) was rumored to be a double CD packaged with the follow-up to his successful 'Tha Carter III'.

But according to Weezy himself, both will be separate records. "Tha Carter IV is out December 15, we won't release The Rebirth as a double CD like people are saying." Wayne told MTV.

"Both will be out before 2010. We're looking to take over the game completely, flood the market. The Grammys are ours next year."
