Lil Wayne drops deluxe version of 'Funeral' feat. Doja Cat, Lil Uzi Vert and fans say he's 'forever GOAT'
Lil Wayne surprised fans with the drop of the deluxe installment of his latest album 'Funeral'. On top of its generous original 24 tracks, 'Funeral' gets an additional eight new songs on the deluxe version. Several surprise collaborations are featured: Doja Cat (on the track 'Shimmy'), Tory Lanez ('Help'), Lil Uzi Vert ('Multiple Flows'), Jessie Reyez ('Love You F**k You'), and Benny the Butcher & Conway the Machine ('Russian Roulette').
The original 'Funeral' LP is the 13 studio album by Lil Wayne. It was released on January 31 via record labels Young Money Entertainment and Republic Record and features guest appearances by Big Sean, Lil Baby, Jay Rock, Adam Levine, 2 Chainz, Takeoff, The-Dream, Lil Twist, the late XXXTentacion and O.T. Genasis. "I Do It" featuring Big Sean and Lil Baby was released as a single the same day as the album.
Wayne shocked fans when he announced the release of the deluxe album during Episode 6 of his show 'Young Money Radio', following his interview with Dr Anthony Fauci. Before the show, the 'Famous' rapper teased that he would be releasing new music during 'Young Money Radio', but an entire deluxe version of 'Funeral' exceeded the expectations of fans.
"The additional tracks are a great surprise," says a fan on Twitter while another wrote, "Album is hard af." Many fans held Wayne as the "goat" and shared much love for their favorite rapper. One fan says, "You're forever my GOAT." Another shared, "I love you so much Wayne!!! Thanks for keeping us all in Tune over these tough times." Fans also had their favorite tracks already picked. Referring to the Wayne and Lil Uzi Vert collab 'Multiple Flows', a fan says, "Whoa uzi and tunechi ive been waiting for this" along with others who prefered the track, while others claimed 'Russian Roulette' is the best. "Russian roulette and help are now in constant rotation," said a fan.
While Wayne featured on Ludacris' previously released 'Silence of the Lambs', produced by Timbaland, last week, this is his first new solo material. Wayne also previewed 'Help', and 'Love You F**k You' during the first episode of 'Young Money Radio' in April.
