In an interview with Soundcheck, an online performance series sponsored by Walmart, rapper Lil Wayne explains the influences for his new album Rebirth along with what fans can expect to hear on the album.
“The fans should expect from the new album more electricity, more power, more everything, more me…It’s still me at the end of the day,”Lil Wayne explained in his interview with Soundcheck. His reasoning for releasing a rock influenced album was similar to earlier comments he made on The View last week [click to watch].
So far two singles from Rebirth have been released, “Prom Queen” [click to watch] and “Hot Revolver” [click to listen]. Both songs are heavily rock influenced.

“The influence of the new album is mainly rock, but again it’s me so I guess I’ll call it my rock,” said Lil Wayne.
Although the album has yet to be released Lil Wayne has already received a tremendous amount of criticism for Rebirth’s rock meets Hip Hop sound.
Rebirth is expected to be released on June 16, although recent reports state that the album may not be released until June 23 due to sample clearance issues.
