The Cold Cut

Lil' Wayne- Lollipop (ft. Static Major)

In a post a couple of months ago, I stated that 'Showtime' would be the first single off of Lil' Wayne's upcoming album, 'Tha Carter III'. Thankfully, this isn't the case. Instead, a new cut, entitled 'Lollipop', is being put forward as the lead track. It's not instant by any stretch of the imagination, but the track is a definite improvement...

He is certainly clearing the floor for his new sound. Lil' Wayne has been experimenting with the use of effects and filters for 'Tha Carter III'. Just as with the fairly mediocre 'Showtime', Wayne employs the use of a vocoder, to greater effect. Not an original move, but the track- as a whole- is. The sound is chopped and layered, until a dense, 'cold' sound is achieved. Its a nice move, and this song has 'club' written all over it- the spins will no doubt rack up.

Tha Carter III is out on May 13th.
