Lil Wayne just announced a massive nationwide 2023 tour and there’s “A Milli” reasons you can’t miss him live this year.
For starters, the “Welcome To Tha Carter Tour” is Weezy’s first official tour since his 2019 co-headlining run with Blink-182. Then, there’s the rumor that the tour may coincide with the release of the highly anticipated “Tha Carter VI” album Lil Wayne teased at the Young Money Reunion concert in summer 2022. Thirdly, and most importantly, seeing Wayne live is essential for any self-respecting hip-hop fan.
And if you’re in the Northeast, you’ll have a few chances to see the self-proclaimed “greatest rapper alive” this summer.
Midway through the tour Lil Wayne is stopping into New York City’s Apollo Theater on April 16.
The next night, April 17, he’ll drop into Philadelphia’s Fillmore.

Lil Wayne new music
Although there are only rumors at this point, Lil Wayne did post a 13-second video in late 2022 claiming that “‘Tha Carter VI’ is on the way.”
However, as we all know, Wayne can’t stay out of the studio.
In 2022, he added four tracks to his 2011 mixtape “Sorry 4 The Wait” and subsequently dropped four more singles.
This year, Weezy has already released a remix of “A Milli” with Sidepiece that might be even more of a club banger than the original.
His most recent full-length album is 2020’s “Funeral.” Pitchfork raved that the five-time Grammy winner “(experiments) with an array of styles and a dizzying maze of wordplay.”
The next year, he collaborated with Rich the Kid on the mixtape “Trust Fund Babies.”
