Who is Lil Wayne?
In 1991, Lil Wayne, otherwise known as Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., first emerged when he teamed up with Cash Money rapper Lil Doogie. The artists dubbed themselves the Hot Boys after joining the Youth & Young Turk team that year.
Hot Boys’ first album, Get It How U Live, saw the southern hip-hop trio achieve fame because of their lyrical inventiveness.
Nonetheless, it was their second album, Guerrilla Warfare, released in 1999, that catapulted Lil Wayne’s career to the forefront of the music industry.
Lil Wayne is one of the best-selling musicians in the world, having sold over 120 million records globally, including more than 20 million albums and 70 million digital songs in the US.
