Weezy may keep his fans waiting a lengthy amount of time for forthcoming projects however we can happily confirm that the mixtape “Sorry 4 the Wait 2” is currently at the stage of finalization. Although Lil Wayne hasn’t raised a lot of heat surrounding the release, it is needless to say that the Young Money president has been putting in studio time, readying the EP in its entirety.

Luckily we have Mack Maine on board, applying efforts to promote the project, as he hit Instagram to let the streets know ‘one more track, then finito’. A remix to Future’s track is on play during the clip, and we expect Wayne to jump on more hot beats very soon.

Take a look at the update and snippet below:

Rich Gang orchestrates a heist in the video for their new single “Tapout,” featuring Birdman, Lil Wayne, Mack Maine, Future, and Nicki Minaj. With the help of Christina Milian and Paris Hilton, the crew hit the jackpot and rob a safe full of money and diamonds in the middle of a party. The Hannah Lux Davis directed video also features cameos from Kimora Lee Simmons, Bow Wow, and DJ Khaled. The track is featured on the upcoming Rich Gang compilation album Flashy Lifestyle which is set to drop on June 25th. This is the second recent YMCMB video to feature a robbery – “High School” was the first – but hey, crime pays. Watch below.

 Mack Maine‘s “Celebration” dropped nearly a year ago, but the lively visuals featuring collaborators Talib Kweli and Lil’ Wayne have just arrived.  Watch as the three emcees’ styles blend surprisingly well, with Kweli dropping his down-with-the-system jewels in front of a brass band and Weezy warbling his uplifting sermon from inside a run-down house symbolic of his dark years.  Mack Maine steals the show (something an artist doesn’t often have to do on their own track) with a personal and religious yet punchline heavy verse.  The YMCMB machine tries its hand at bottle-poppin’ Christian rap and for the most part, it works.  Go figure.

Promoting their joint mixtape, Billionaire Minds, Birdman and Mack Maine have released the video for “B Boyz,” their joint venture with Kendrick Lamar and Ace Hood. Directed by Derick G and shot in black and white, the video features shots of Compton and Miami as well as cameos from Lil’ Wayne and Dj Khaled. Warning: if you’re a car fanatic, you might get a little aroused.
