The album became the highest selling of the year in the United States.В In a September 2008 interview with Shaheem Reid of MTVВ Mixtape Monday, Lil Wayne revealed that he had begun work on his next official mixtape, Dedication 3В (2008) and also confirmed a sequel to Tha Carter III, titled Tha Carter IV.В Initial recording sessions for the album began in early October 2008,В but these were put on hold, as later that month Wayne claimed that he did not want the album to follow Tha Carter IIIВ immediately. The album sold 1,005,545 copies in its first week of sales in the United States, and produced three top ten singles in the US, including the number one-hit ' Lollipop'. In June 2008, after a similarly delayed release, Lil Wayne released his previous album in the Tha CarterВ series, Tha Carter IIIВ (2008). The album received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were divided in their responses towards the album's production and Wayne's own performances on the album: they felt it a disappointment compared to his previous work.В The entire album according to Lil Wayne is an allegory of the negative aspects of the West. Tha Carter IVВ achieved first week sales of 964,000 copies in the United States and became Lil Wayne's second album to top the US BillboardВ 200В in its first week.

Appearances on the album include Cory Gunz, Drake, T-Pain, Tech N9ne, Andre 3000, Rick Ross, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Birdman, Kevin Rudolf, Jadakiss, Bun B, Nas, Shyne, and Busta Rhymes.ДЇollowing a heavily delayed release, Tha Carter IVВ was released to digital retailers at midnight on August 28, 2011, following Wayne's scheduled performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, and physical retailers received the album the following day. The album's largely concerns the themes of sex, violence, drugs and crime, but also love, hurt and emotional conflict. The recording sessions resumed at various locations, involving several record producers including Bangladesh, Detail, T-Minus, Noah '40' Shebib, Polow da Don, Jim Jonsin, Kane Beatz, Boi-1da, Willy Will, Streetrunner, Cool & Dre, Young Ladd, The Smeezingtons, and Kanye West. The latter was reportedly composed from unreleased material from the original Tha Carter IV sessions, as the album was released whilst Wayne served a prison sentence at Rikers Island prison for illegal possession of a weapon, and was thus unable to record any new material: this also meant Tha Carter IV' s recording sessions were once more put on hold.ДЇollowing Wayne's release from prison, the album was re-recorded from scratch. In the interim, Lil Wayne released his two other albums in 2010: the largely rock-themed Rebirth, and I Am Not a Human Being. Recording sessions for the album began in late 2008, shortly after Lil Wayne's sixth studio album, Tha Carter III (2008) was released to strong sales and critical acclaim: however, the sessions were put on hold, as Lil Wayne claimed he did not want to follow an album he held in high regard so quickly with another, potentially inferior release. Tha Carter IVВ is the ninth studio albumВ by American rapper Lil Wayne, released on August 29, 2011, through Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Recordsand Universal Republic Records.
