The "Uproar" collaborators were recently spotted shooting a music video together.

As we anticipate the release of Tha Carter VI, it seems as though Lil Wayne has new music coming soon. Tomorrow, NLE Choppa will drop his forthcoming collab with Weezy. The rapper announced the collab this week in a video of himself presenting Wayne with a bouquet of flowers. Hopefully, that will hold us over until Wayne decides to unload the first single off of his next album, which could happen soon rather than later.

The last real update we got surrounding the next installment in Tha Carter series came in September when Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana were spotted in the studio together. Though fans anticipate the I Can’t Feel My Face project, it seems as though Weezy needed a verse from the Dipset rapper for his upcoming project. The rapper announced the project at OVO Fest in Toronto alongside Drake and Nicki Minaj, just before the show ended. A few days later, he put the pre-save link in his Instagram bio. However, there hasn’t been any other real update surrounding the effort.

Lil Wayne & Swizz Beatz Lock In

Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz might be cooking up something soon. As they witnessed success with “P.O.M.S” and Funeral highlight, “Uproar,” it looks like they’ve linked up for another banger. Footage of the two filming a music video surfaced this week. Then, Lil Wayne shared a photo of himself and Swizz Beatz to his Instagram Story. “Here we go again,” Swizz captioned his repost of Wayne’s Story on his Instagram page. 

Perhaps, the success of “Uproar” led to their latest collab. Swizz recently revealed that Wayne recorded their Funeral collab as a freestyle, which the producer used to restructure into a song. However, Wayne wasn’t feeling Swizz's edits at first and it took some convincing to get him on board. “When you put this piece throughout, it brings people back and it plays as a chorus,” Swizz explained, referring to what’s known now as the hook. “And then Wayne was like, ‘Alright, alright. Let’s do it.'” We’ll keep you posted on any updates surrounding the collab. Check the post above.
