In the modern history of hip-hop, few albums have endured a more turbulent journey to the public ear than Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V . Originally slated for release in 2014, the album became the battleground for a multi-million dollar legal war between Wayne and Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman. By the time an official version of Tha Carter V finally arrived in September 2018, it was a drastically different project than the one Wayne had originally crafted.
"Tha Carter V" is the fifth installment in Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter" series, which has been a critical and commercial success. The album was initially expected to be released in 2017 but faced several delays. The final version of "Tha Carter V" debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling over 1 million album-equivalent units in its first week. Lil Wayne Carter V -OG Version- zip
