After selling one million copies of his latest album, Tha Carter III, earlier this year, Cash Money Records has resigned Lil Wayne to the label where he started.
"We were introduced to him when he was just a little, little kid," recalls Slim of when he met Weezy. "He told us he wanted to be a rapper. He just called us every day, and at one point, even came to live with us. He just outworked everybody. He had that drive to succeed."
"Working with our son, Lil Wayne, throughout the many years has helped us build Cash Money into the empire it is today. Cash Money is a family and Lil Wayne has been part of our family since day one," added Birdman.
To date, he's released six solo album, and one EP, via Cash Money Records, and with a new deal in place, much more is to come. The partnership between Cash Money and Lil Wayne will continue, with a multi-album pact that takes them into the future together.
"Tha Carter III is just the tip of the iceberg with Lil Wayne," said Slim. "The best is yet to come."
Since landing its deal with Universal Music Group in 1998, which guaranteed Cash Money all revenues from record sales and music publishing, as well as ownership of its masters, the label has been distributed by Universal Motown Records Group.
Although he's reached the biggest peak of his career, and recently hit 2.4 million sales of Tha Carter III, Weezy is already back in the studio working on new mixtapes with artists from his own Young Money label, and his next solo project, Tha Carter IV.
