Lil Wayne Goes Big On His New Track “6’7″”

Releasing two albums in one year (which spending most of said year behind bars) isn’t enough to fill Lil Wayne‘s schedule — the rapper just dropped the first single off Tha Carter IV, “6’7”, which features a sample from Harry Belefonte’s “Day-O (Banana Boat Song)”. (You may remember it as the song the Deetz’s and their dinner guests danced to against their will in Beetlejuice.) New Young Money member Cory Gunz provides a verse on the track, produced by Bangladesh (“A Milli”). Listen below!

Lil Wayne — who clocks in at about 5’6″ — sounds more fierce and less grizzly on this plucky tune, which offers poetic lines like, “Life is the bitch, and death is her sister / Sleep is the cousin, what a fuckin’ family picture.”

Even without a chorus, it’s a solid track, with much more spunk to it than we’ve heard from Weezy in awhile. Sounds like he’s having tons of fun, which probably has something to do with him choosing not to wax poetic on his jail stint.

What do you think of Weezy’s latest?
