Lil Wayne has released a new song titled "Island Holiday" from his album Tha Carter VI, which samples Weezer's iconic 2001 track "Island in the Sun." The song incorporates the guitar riff and features interpolated lyrics from Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo. While it's unclear if the original riff was used, Cuomo is credited on the track. This collaboration showcases Wayne's history of sampling and relates to their previous work together on the song "Can't Stop Partying". Additionally, Tha Carter VI includes samples from classic hip-hop tracks and coincides with Wayne's headlining US tour beginning June 6th.
“When you're on a holiday/ You can't find the words to say,/ All the things that come to you/ And I wanna feel it, too.”
“On an island in the sun/ We'll be playin' and havin' fun/ And it makes me feel so fine/ I can't control my brain.”
“Although it's unclear whether Weezer's original guitar riff was directly sampled on ‘Island Holiday,’ Cuomo is credited as both a composer and lyricist on Tidal.”
“Wayne will kick off his headlining US tour in support of Tha Carter VI tonight, June 6th.”
