“Best Rapper Alive” Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. and top-tier emcee 2 Chainz have premiered the 4th visual cut from their debut joint album “Welcome 2 Collegrove”.
Featuring Benny The Butcher, the music video is directed by Krispy, DJ Scoob Doo, and The Wizard and arrives within days after Wayne & Chainz released the “Transparency” visual cut featuring R&B pioneer Usher.
Notably, “Oprah & Gayle” is the 13th rap record on “Welcome 2 Collegroove” and for many, the most sought-after. Produced by DJ Toomp, the flagrant rap record is mired by provocative rhymes and Butcher’s boastful lyricism about past struggles and his cult status in global rap music.
“Yo, they was laughin’, but we was smart drug trafficking
We was sharks
I had to chase the paper down ’til we trapped the money in vaults
Kinda crazy, my last bid was the shortest and she ain’t wait for me
Spent half my twenties in prison and aged gracefully
For paper, you know we grind, place a wager
And you’ll be fine
I put my fork down now every major want me to sign
Left the hood for Hollywood
It wasn’t worth being famous,” Butcher can be heard on the flagrant rap record.

Released last Friday, “Welcome 2 Collegrove” features star-studded guest verses by 21 Savage, Usher, Fabolous, Rick Ross, Marsha Ambrosius, 50 Cent and Griselda-affiliate.
With the release of the massive joint LP, Wayne is now gearing up for his long-awaited rap LP “Tha Carter VI”.
