Lil Wayne Begins Work On Brand New Album

US rapper Lil' Wayne has begun recording the follow-up to 2008's 'Tha Carter III'.

In a post on his blog, the rapper said he was writing the album in the studio in addition to a new mix tape.

"I've been busy in the studio and right now I'm working on a mix tape, along with 'Tha Carter IV',” he wrote.

"The mix tape you can expect real soon. It's called 'Dedication 3', and it's going to be 'Gangsta Grillz' by DJ Drama.

“And then right after that, I'm putting that same mix tape out with 20 extra songs for free on my website."

'Tha Carter III' sold over a million copies during its first week of release in the US earlier this year.
