Management/production

firm Hip-Hop Since 1978 has entered into an exclusive partnership with Bryant

Management to represent rapper Lil’ Wayne. Gee

Roberson and Kyambo “Hip-Hop” Joshua of Hip-Hop Since 1978 will work

together with Lil’ Wayne’s longtime manager Cortez Bryant as they take

on all facets of Lil’ Wayne’s career including music, television, and

film. Roberson

and Joshua also manage superstar rapper Kanye West, who will lend his production

talent to Lil’ Wayne’s upcoming release, Tha Carter 3. “I’m

excited to bring Hip-Hop Since 1978 onto the team,” said Lil’ Wayne’s

manager Cortez Bryant in a press release. “I’m positive their combined

experience, expertise, and well-cultivated relationships will help us take Wayne’s

career to the next level.” In

recent news, Lil’ Wayne is being sued by a young woman who suffered a broken

collar bone and other injuries at a concert held at Tennessee State University.

Her

injuries were received as a crowd of people rushed the stage to catch money Lil’

Wayne had thrown at the audience. Along

with Lil’ Wayne the woman is also suing Tennessee State University and another

man involved in the incident; she is suing all three for a total of $150,000.

Despite

this current lawsuit, Lil’ Wayne continues to tour alongside rapper Young

Jeezy as part of the Street Dreams Tour. Tha

Carter 3 will be released sometime this year.
