Lil Wayne

Once every era, an artist rewrites the rules...Lil Wayne rewrote the entire game in his image. Hip-hop never sounded, looked, or felt the same after his ascendance to the throne. The face tattoos, the woozy auto-tune wielded like a guitar, and the lexicon itself may be traced right back to the five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum rap icon, Young Money Entertainment founder, acclaimed author, skater, philanthropist, and history-making New Orleans superstar.
