The Louisiana legend has just shared the album artwork for the sixth entry in his most iconic album collection.
It pays respects to arguably his most iconic covers in Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV with is face as a child covered in tattoos. However, this one features the most facial ink of them and shows Wayne cracking an adorable smile as well.
Moreover, the cover takes on a brand-new color scheme of with black, red, and white, with the latter dominating. Of course, there's also the trademark lettering with a unique way of writing out the album title. "Lil Wayne Returns with Tha Carter VI The Sixth Installment Of His Iconic Carter Series."
On top of this, Weezy F. Baby has gone ahead and launched the merchandise for the record. He's including a standard vinyl for $30.00 and standard CD for $14.00 with the aforementioned cover.

Lil Wayne will be releasing Tha Cart VI on June 6, a date he announced after being snubbed from performing at this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show. He recently confirmed some of the features in an interview with Rolling Stone as well. Wyclef Jean, Andrea Bocelli, Miley Cyrus, Elephant Man, Machine Gun Kelly, Bono, Wheezy, Kanye West, and his son Kameron Carter, are just a few. Details on the tracklist remain a mystery though.
