Lil Wayne's <i>Rebirth</i> Probably a Holiday Release, Says Universal Exec

11:54 a.m. · July 28, 2009 · by Andrew Winistorfer

Finally sick of speculating when Lil Wayne's Rebirth was actually going to come out, Entertainment Weekly sent reporter Simon Vozick-Levinson to Universal Music Group to ask when the album would really be out. It turns out the album's "undetermined" release date is probably going to mean it's out in time for the holiday season. 

The most revealing part of the story is that a Universal employee told EW that Cash Money can change thier release dates whenever they want to, due to their distribution deal, so the label really has no idea either. In fact, Vozick Levinson got told October as a release date by one employee and Christmas time by another. But neither said which October or which Christmas, so I'm guessing November 2013. [Idolator]
