After last Friday’s, release of a collaborative mixtape with Rich The Kid ‘Trust Fund Babies’, Mr. Carter surprises fans by releasing a new song to streaming services.“Ya Dig” is a slick record that finds Lil Wayne feeling braggadocious as he flexes his status over a distorted, soulful sample.

“Ya Dig” was co-produced by STREETRUNNER and Tarik Azzouz and features a sample of Margie Joseph’s “Stop! In the Name of Love,” which Wayne also sampled on “Gossip” off his 2007 EP The Leak. Word has it “Ya Dig” is a song from the vault that dates back to his Tha Carter III days. It will be featured on the forthcoming “Tha Carter Singles Collection” 7” vinyl box set.

“Weezy, newborn baby, and it’s my party/ And I’m kicking like a horse on the stick-shift Ferrari/ Like new cocaine, bright yellow dope/ Bright red flag like a red velvet rope/ I’m open for criticism/ But really, is it any room for criticism,” Wayne raps.

According to Lil Wayne HQ, the song was recorded in late 2007 or early 2008, but it’s unclear why it wasn’t released until now. It’s not clear where the fansite, got the information from about its alleged recording timeline. There has been no official confirmation. It hears the rapper spit eloquently in the midst of what Stereogum noted was his “peak mixtape era”.

Check out the song below, Weezy has even more music on the way including I Am Not A Human Being III and ColleGrove 2 with 2 Chainz.
