FWA is the best project hes put out since NoCelilings Weezys back. It is best to listen without expectations, because this could either pleasantly surprise or could disappoint. Lil Wayne got his act together & made his music the right way, one Twitter user noted. This would have been best split up into two albums, but 24 tracks plays into the streaming game for chart position. 10 years ago Lil Wayne released Tha Carter, an album that changed the path of his career. Some of the features fall flat, which is a shame because they are needed at 24 tracks. For the James Brown-sampled I Feel Good, Weezy does a solid job channeling the late soul singer’s uplifting spirit. You can check out a sneak peek of this FWA leftover after the jump. The album feels at times like a dump of finished songs, but it overall does hold together somewhat well. Fortunately, Wayne also has fun this go-round. Remember back in 2015 when Lil Wayne shared a video online of him skateboarding in the studio and listening to an unreleased song Fast forward to now, a snippet for this song that is called Never Let It and was recorded for Wayne‘s Free Weezy Album has surfaced online. It is another sign there was a lot that could be cut. He is ready to “pistol whip you till you know the serial number by heart,” on 'Line Em Up” and earlier on Funeral he lets everyone know they aren’t as talented as him on “Not Me.” The middle of the LP is very forgettable, but he has his moments to shine at the beginning and end. He is still as aggressive as ever, looking to take on any potential competitors.

He wastes the talent of The-Dream on “Sights And Silencers” with a weird, slow ballad.

His collaboration with Adam Levine sounds like one of those soft rap, pop collaborations from the early 2010s and should be left there. “Mama Mia” borrows from a grating horror film soundtrack and is a horror in itself.
