(November 11, 2009)
*After months of false starts, Universal Music Group has announced that Lil Wayne's long-anticipated rock-themed album, "Rebirth," is slated for a Dec. 15 release date.
The set was originally scheduled to drop on April 7, with the track "Prom Queen" as its first single. The song reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 last spring.
Guest artists on "Rebirth" include members of rock band Fall Out Boy, Lenny Kravitz, Travis Barker and rapper Drake. Lil Wayne plays guitar on most of the tracks.
The leaked song "Fix My Hat" is one of the few rap tracks that made it onto the "Rebirth" set.
Meanwhile, Universal has also announced that the new Mary J. Blige album, "Stronger," is due out Dec. 22, while Redman's "9 1/2" is confirmed for a Dec. 15 release date.
