Lil Wayne Reveals Adorable ‘Tha Carter IV’ Album Cover

Lil Wayne is due to drop his new album, ‘Tha Carter IV,’ next month (fingers crossed), so it wasn't totally unexpected that we'd get a look at the album cover a bit sooner. We weren't quite prepared for just how adorable it is, though!

‘Tha Carter IV’ album cover shows an actual 'little' Wayne, at maybe 5-years-old, in a cap and gown, likely as a recent kindergarten grad -- class of '87.

Although it's unlikely that Wayne was tatted up as a tot, we love that baby Weezy has the beginnings of full-face and neck tattoos, and think that it gives his cover a personal touch.

As the title suggests, this record is a follow up to 'Tha Carter,' 'Tha Carter II,' and 'Tha Carter III,' and if we're lucky, we'll get our hands on the fourth edition on May 23. Until then, we'll settle for the two singles that have already dropped, '6 Foot 7 Foot' and 'John,' to tide us over.
