''Tha Carter III'' is the sixth studio album by American rapper Lil Wayne, released June 10, 2008 on Cash Money Records. It follows his period of mixtape releases and guest appearances on other hip hop and R&B artists, which helped increase mainstream notice of him. The album's cover art features a baby picture of Wayne and is similar to covers of hip hop albums such as ''Illmatic'' (1994) and ''Ready to Die'' (1994). Amid release delays and leaks, ''Tha Carter III'' became one of the most anticipated releases of 2008.
