Last year, he returned with \u201cTha Carter VI,\u201d which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the top R&B\/Hip-Hop Albums chart, marking his 11th #1.<\/p>\n Wayne debuted his first solo album, \u201cTha Block Is Hot,\u201d in 1999, followed by \u201cLights Out\u201d a year later and \u201c500 Degreez\u201d in 2003. Earlier in his career, Wayne was open to experimenting with other genres, including mixing rock elements into rap, as heard on his album \u201cRebirth.\u201d Although he took a break from blending genres in his own music, he\u2019s been featured on collaborations with Machine Gun Kelly on the latter\u2019s 2022 album \u201cMainstream Sellout.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rapper Lil Wayne is extending his North American tour, which now includes a stop in Southern California.
