Earlier this year, Lil Wayne shared that he struggles to recognize his successful album Tha Carter III. He attributed his incredible mind to a higher power, but noted that his memory doesn’t match up.
However, he hasn’t forgotten how to play the guitar, a skill he picked up over ten years ago and used for his rock-oriented 2010 album Rebirth. He’s now returned to showcase his guitar skills on “Uneasy,” a brief 30-second segment within a song by fellow Louisianan Jon Batiste on his new album, World Music Radio. This guitar solo appears during an interlude with a John Legend vibe towards the end of the track. Lil Wayne’s memory of this guitar solo is likely better than his ability to recall the verse he contributed.
Surprisingly, Lil Wayne’s guitar playing isn’t the most chaotic element on Batiste’s latest album, World Music Radio. The album features various collaborations and diverse sounds, including an Afrobeats fusion with Fireboy DML, a saxophone solo by Kenny G, and a follow-up collaboration with Lana Del Rey, who had previously worked together on Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd earlier in the year.
The standout track, however, is “Be Who You Are,” which involves a combination of rising K-pop group NewJeans, Colombian singer-songwriter Camilo, and emerging Dreamville rapper J.I.D. This unique blend of artists creates a composition that deserves to be experienced firsthand.
