Lil Wayne finally releases ‘Sorry 4 The Wait’ mixtape on streaming services

Lil Wayne has finally released his Sorry 4 The Wait mixtape on streaming services, and he’s also added four brand new tracks.

The 2011 project was first released as a surprise, and as the title of the project alludes to, Lil Wayne was in the process of sharing his ninth LP, The Carter IV, and Sorry 4 The Wait was an apology note to his fans for the delay.

The following month after its release, he did share his next record, and Sorry 4 The Wait was glossed over. However, now he’s giving the mixtape the recognition it deserves by uploading it to streaming services.

This move was first hinted at by Weezy’s manager Cortez Bryant back in 2020 when he told Fake Shore Drive about their plans to upload to DSPs.

“Now with streaming, we want to put out everything. All the mixtapes,” Bryant explained. “We want everyone to hear (or) discover them. We want to make sure it’s at their fingertips on streaming platforms.

“I think the goal is to try to clear as much as we can,” he continued. “It’s hard ’cause on the mixtapes, he rapped on other people’s beats. So that’s all the writers, and producers, and labels, and publishers, so it’s a bunch of people you got to go through to clear shit who may want too much money. So you got to deal with the legalities behind rapping on someone else’s song to get over the hurdle of getting it cleared. It’s not easy to put it out.”
