NEW YORK (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 24, 2008 --
Critically acclaimed Cash Money/Universal Motown Records recording
artist Lil Wayne announces the kickoff of the “I Am Music
Tour” on December 14th in Miami. T-Pain, Keyshia
Cole, Gym Class Heroes and Keri Hilson are scheduled to join
him on the road.
Tha Carter III, Lil
Wayne’s multi-platinum album continues to skyrocket with “Mrs.
Officer” holding the #1 position on Mediabase Urban charts — the
album’s fourth #1 and ninth hit single.
Lil Wayne’s growing list of accomplishments includes a shelf full
of newly acquired trophies to add to his collection. Most recently, he
won the highly coveted Artists Choice Award at the 2008 MTV
Europe Music Awards, selected by hundreds of acts from around the
world. Kelly Rowland presented Wayne with the award on Nov. 6 in
Liverpool, England. Out of a dozen nominations, Lil Wayne took
home 7 BET Hip -Hop Awards at the October ceremony. The accolades
include Lyricist of the Year, Alltel Wireless People’s
Champ and Track of the Year for “A Mill.” His
track, “I’m So Hood” with DJ Khaled was awarded
Best Collaboration. Lil Wayne also won Ringtone of the Year
for “Lollipop.”
Most recently the iconic superstar received a People’s Choice Award
nomination for Favorite Hip-Hop Song for “Lollipop”
and Artist Of The Year, Favorite Male Artist (Hip-Hop/Rap
Music) and Favorite Album (Hip-Hop/Rap Music) for 2008
American Music Awards.
“I made the Carter III so
that whatever song is on it, it will stick with you forever,” Lil
Wayne in a declaration now proven fact. Lil Wayne scored
Universal Motown’s biggest first week ever, selling over one million
units in one week of Tha Carter III
in June. “Lollipop” shattered records holding steady
for 12 weeks at #1 – the longest run for any #1 song in this decade.
It’s no wonder that Blender crowned him the “Greatest Rock Star Alive.”
