While keeping details brief, Drizzy said Weezy’s bars have pressured him to step up his own skills.

"He called me the other day from jail and rapped me two verses, man," Drake said referring to Wayne. "It really made me, like, ‘I gotta do something different. I gotta get sh– together,’ because he’s really got bars and he’s rapping from a broader life perspective, saying these things people love to hear."

Tha Bizness’ Dow Jones recently talked about helping produce Carter IV.

"Carter IV’s gonna change your life," Dow Jones said in an interview. "Wayne is gonna change your life. That’s all I’m gonna tell you. Be ready for that. It’s something you’ve never seen before. It’s incredible. When we finally heard a couple of the joints he did, we were just like, ‘Man.’ We thought Carter III was incredible and he took it a couple of steps up. One thing about Wayne, he’s a workaholic. There’s very few people we’ve been in the studio with that work harder than him aside from T-Pain, Wayne’s probably there…Carter IV was before he went to jail — as soon as he gets out, it’s time to cook it back up. He’s got so many records. He’ll do maybe an album’s worth of stuff in a day. You’ll never know how much Wayne’s gonna do." (Rap-Up)

Producer Street Runner recently said Wayne’s Carter IV would have a soulful vibe.

"I did a really dope joint for the ladies with a soulful sample track that has a feature on the hook," he revealed in an interview. "I don’t want to go into to many details about the record cause someinternet monster might find it and try to leak it. I got another record that my dude wrote the hook on that almost feels like a Jay-Z "What More Can I Say" type track. I think I got 1 other record that’s pending along with those two so I just gotta see what’s up. I will say Weezy is spitting that sh*t over my tracks and they are 100% Hip Hop…I heard a few joints… It’s definitely what the fans want. He’s just rapping and going hard on it. I think I heard maybe one rocked out track but the majority was rap/Hip Hop tracks. It should be another classic." (Lil Wayne HQ)

Although they have not yet worked together, Khaled is confident in their chemistry.

"When I do get in the studio with him, I promise you, we gon’ make something so f*cking crazy. I’m telling Eminem right now, if we get in the studio I know that I’m going to get the best out of Eminem, and he’s going to write the most incredible verse that he’s ever written in his life, and it’s going to be the biggest f*cking anthem in the streets and it’s going to be the biggest anthem when we get together, and I know this for a fact, and God willing, it’s going to happen.

I already have some people in mind, that’s something I want to discuss with him first. It’s definitely going to be a collabo track, but it’s going to be the great ones. But the thing is, I just gotta get with Em. I just gotta get with Em in the studio to present the concept and then from there, he’s going to say Khaled, turn the mic on. And I’m going to say, of course I am. It’s going to be anthematic. It’s going to be the biggest anthem in the world. I’ma find a way, don’t worry." (VIBE)

The first change is with Kanye West’s original Good A** Job album title being dropped.

"The album is no longer called "Good A** Job" I’m bouncing a couple of titles around now," Kanye West revealed via his new Twitter page on Wednesday (July 28). (Kanye West’s Twitter http://twitter.com/kanyewest )

Another alteration includes the new release date of Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon 2 which was originally slated to come out on September 14th.

The "Day ‘N’ Nite" rapper’s sophomore set Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager is now on the release schedule for October 26, Rap-Up.com has learned. It was previously slated for September 28. The hopes for a G.O.O.D. Music release day were dashed when his label Universal Motown moved the album back from its original September 14 date, the same day Kanye West is scheduled to drop his fifth album. (Rap-Up)

G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean recently announced multiple labelmates’ albums set to drop on September 14th including West and Cudi’s new records.

"September 14, 2010 My album Finally Famous x Kanye West album Good A** Job x Kid Cudi album Man on the Moon pt 2 RT #GOODMUSIC," he wrote earlier this summer. (Big Sean’s Twitter)

Drake is also confident that rap fans are anxiously awaiting the new project.

"I’m on it," Drake said in an interview. "It’s gonna transfer over to whatever he does. They’re waiting for that new Wayne. I don’t know if people are waiting for that new Drake. Thank Me Later was great — it was phenomenal things I’ve never seen, like people lining up. But it might have just been the moment — that’s yet to be proven. But Wayne is just a proven artist. There’s no doubt in my mind that people are waiting for that I’m Not a Human Being, that Carter IV, that Wayne and Drake album. All that!"

According to Wayne’s co-manager and Young Money CEO Cortez Bryant, the EP will hit stores in late September.

"I’m putting out a [Wayne] album called I’m Not A Human Being and I’ll probably drop it on his birthday, September 27…We not about to roll out no three month set up. I’m not even putting it out in stores. We just gonna put it out virally and maybe package it up for Christmas. Give ‘em a hard copy later for fan appreciation." (VIBE)

Prior to going to Rikers, Wayne publicly announced an interest in continuing his music career from jail.

Ironically, before Wayne went behind bars, the rapper told Rolling Stone that he planned to keep working while in prison: "I’ll have an iPod, and I’ll make sure they keep sending me beats." Guess the lack of one turned out to be more a burden than he could bear–no surprise for a guy who recorded at all hours of the day and night back when he was a free man. (Village Voice)

Despite being given a one-year sentence for a gun conviction, Wayne is expected to be released in November.

The rapper was jailed for 12 months in March after he pleaded guilty to attempted gun possession. But prison records obtained suggest that the rapper’s projected release date is November 4 - four months early. (Gigwise)
