Staff writer Kyle Denis, senior director R&B/hip-hop Carl Lamarre and senior charts analyst Trevor Anderson returned with new moderator Delisa Shannon on Wednesday (June 11) as the trio debated the early returns of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI,

Tha Carter VI marks the rapper’s first solo album in five years. It features guest appearances from BigXthaPlug, Jay Jones, Jelly Roll, Big Sean, Bono, 2 Chainz, Andrea Bocelli, Wyclef Jean, Mannie Fresh, MGK, Kodak Black, Wayne’s sons Kameron Carter and Lil Novi, as well as Nicki Minaj, Future and Lil Baby on the deluxe.

Lil Wayne lit up the stage at the 2025 BET Awards with a performance that was equal parts spiritual, nostalgic, and electrifying—perfectly in sync with the show’s 25th anniversary celebration of Black culture and excellence.
