Lil Wayne gets down on social networking sites

Lil Wayne gets down on social  networking sites

NEW YORK – Lil Wayne has announced a tentative April 7 release date for his next album, ‘Rebirth’. The set’s first single, ‘Prom Queen’, debuted live on Tuesday on Wayne’s MySpace page.

In addition, ‘Prom Queen’ debuted yesterday on the social networking site Facebook as part of a partnership between Lil Wayne and AT&T. The rapper was also to perform the single for the first time during a concert in San Diego yesterday.’We have streamed festivals and shows in the past, but this is the first time AT&T has streamed a live performance for our Facebook pages,’ AT&T spokesperson Heather Buffington told Billboard.com.According to Huffington, AT&T customers downloaded Lil Wayne ringtones more than any other artist last year. He’s also the most popular artist with a Facebook page, she said.Contrary to previous reports that said the forthcoming Universal-Cash Money album would be titled ‘Tha Carter IV’, the rock-inspired ‘Rebirth’ will not be the next instalment in ‘Tha Carter’ series or related to any previous album that Lil Wayne has released, according to his publicist.Wayne’s move to a rock ‘n’ roll sound isn’t surprising, considering that he often plays guitar at his concerts and has aligned himself with rock artist Kevin Rudolf. He appears on the latter’s debut single, ‘Let It Rock’, which recently peaked at No 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.’I might want to hear a certain sound like Prince, but I can’t pay him to play it. So, I picked up a guitar and learned how to play it,’ Wayne told Billboard last year. ‘(It) goes to show you the only thing that can’t be done is what you don’t want to do.’Lil Wayne will perform at the Grammy Awards on February 8. – Nampa-Reuters
