Shout out to Scoob Scorcese aka DJ Scoob Doo. The in-house Young Money lensman captured footage of Lil Wayne recording a new track the rapper is plotting to release tomorrow titled "She Will" with a little assistance from Drake. In the above clip Wayne discusses the upcoming track with Drake via Skype then later captures Tunechi in the vocal booth wrapping up the song. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the finished project but for now hit the clip for a preview.
During a recent interview with MTV News, Lil Wayne confirmed that the recording of the highly anticipated fourth installment of his Tha Carter series is finished and will drop at the end of August, a day after the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards air live on August 28.
"The album is done and it'll be out August 29. It's totally done," Wayne told us.
While the MC's mixtape, Sorry for the Waitfeatures Wayne spewing rapid-fire rap over concussive beats, judging by the latest Carter IV single, the album will offer even more diversity. According to Wayne, the acoustic-flavored, sing-songy "How to Love" was actually inspired by Tupac Shakur.
"That song is just sweeping the world. It's touching every woman, that's what it was for," Wayne said. "It was like Tupac had 'Keep Ya Head Up' and it was a message to women and little girls across the world just to keep your head up even though things are hard. That's what my song was."
'Pac's 1993 song became one of his biggest hits. On it, Shakur rapped about the plight of single mothers and battered women. For "How to Love," Weezy also lends a sympathetic ear. "A lot of women don't know how to love because there's deep reasons for them not knowing how to love," he explained. "And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons. A lot of people don't open up that can and I figured that I can open up that can of worms and see what happens."
How do you think Wayne's "How to Love" compares to Tupac's "Keep Ya Head Up"? Sound off in the comments!
